School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

We believe in loving one another as Christ loved us.

Typical Day-In-The-Life At This School

Our day begins with a bible story and activity, after which we begin our academic day. Our preschool teacher is creative arts oriented and teaches with a lot of music and movement. Children learn letter and number recognition, colors, body parts, phonics, large and small motor coordination, to name a few. Our program meets state standards.

"behind," "excelling" or "different" from the majority of students

Our enrollment is currently small enough that individualized instruction isn't a problem.

Separation

Beginning of the year separation is handled through:
- Pre-entry meetings with parents at school
