School Philosophy & Day in the Life

School Philosophy and Mission

"Christian Life Fellowship is a full Gospel Church dedicated to meeting the needs of the community. We care for the community, which means we care for your child. Christian Life Fellowship Pre-School was birthed out of the need for quality childcare and Christian education. A Multisensory curriculum, language development program called Preventing Academic Failure (PAF), Chapel time-combining music and drama, rigorous exercise and trips to fun places are just a few examples of what your child will experience.
