Philosophy:
The
pre-school experience provides an environment in which children
develop a positive attitude toward learning and acquire habits,
Christian based values and skills that ensure readiness for school.
The pre-school engages in activities and experiences designed
to help them develop socially, emotionally, physically and
intellectually.
The
learning atmosphere allows the child to increase their understanding
of self, others and the outside world.
As such, a pre-school program must provide a sense of structure
while nurturing creativity, allow development of individuality while
instilling sensitivity to others, present a challenging but supportive
environment in which the child may gain self-confidence and recognize
a sense of achievement.
Such
a program requires a set of thoughtfully planned and integrated goals
translated into a series of relevant activities and experiences
appropriate to the pre-school child.

designed to help the children develop socially emotionally, physically
and intellectually. The
