OUR MISSION:

PROGRAMS:
Pre-School/Day Care

Our day-care program is open to all children who have reached their 3rd birthday by September 1st. Each child attends school for a portion of the day. This program is the heart of our Children’s Center.

The objective of the pre-school (Pre-Kindergarten) program is to provide a rich environment for the child in which he or she can socialize, explore, control, and appreciate. The program is sharing, timing, rules, new freedom and differences—differences that will shape a child’s sense of self, time, space, size, quantity, and the ability to come to conclusions. Each child is accepted and appreciated as a person; he or she is the focus. Emphasis is placed on positive reinforcement. Listed below are some of the subjects covered in this program.

Religion Art
Language Experience and Development
Creative Expression Physical Education
Math Computers
Science Social Habits
Music Work Habits
