Programs based on your child's social and developmental needs

Welcome to our Christian childcare center and preschool. Children are exposed
to a theme-based curriculum through a wide variety of ideas, art mediums, challenging and educational toys, enriching books, developmental math and language activities, and field trips. We have weekly Chapel time which involves music, prayer and basic Bible stories. Our curriculum is planned to provide each child with as many opportunities as possible to explore their world, interact with others, learn to care about others, and gain self confidence as they develop new skills. The center also provides well-balanced meals and snacks for children attending our various programs. Meal times are a great social event, and the children work on table manners, help with set up and clean up, and learn some math and science concepts in the process. |

Infants (6 weeks to 12 months)
We respond promptly to babies' needs, whether it is for food, dry diapers, attention or hugs. We believe infant feeding times are times of nurturing and social interaction. We will never prop a bottle with an infant or put a child to sleep with a bottle. Babies nap and feed according to their individual schedules. Developmentally appropriate toys are out throughout the day. One-Year-Old and Two-Year-Olds Our goal is to provide a variety of developmentally appropriate hands-on activities for children to explore and manipulate. We will have activities to help develop language, gross and fine motor skills. Our interactions will foster positive self-concepts, socials skills and reasoning skills. As children are ready to sit and participate in circle times, these opportunities will be available. In addition to regular meals and snacks, activities throughout the day include free play, texture table, play dough, concept games, art, stories, music, outside play, quiet time, and nap time. Three-Year-Olds: Classroom and Childcare The preschool classroom includes children enrolled part-time a few days a week, and those enrolled for preschool plus childcare. In both, age-appropriate activities are designed to help develop language, gross and fine motor skills. In addition to family-style meals and snacks, activities include free play, stories, music, creative art, easel, texture table, learning centers, directed art, outdoor play, and nap/rest time. Throughout our time together, we seek to foster children's positive self-concepts, socials skills and reasoning skills, as well as help them develop increasing coordination for their growing bodies. Four- & Five-Year-Olds: Classroom and Childcare Children at this age are getting ready for and experiencing kindergarten, and our goal is to help them gain the social and reasoning skills to make this a smooth transition. Activities include family style meals and snacks, as well as free play, stories, concepts, plan of the day, music, flag salute, learning centers, creative arts, calendar, math concepts, weather, directed art, outdoor play, quiet time, and prayer time. Before & After School Childcare for Children in Grades K-5 As with the other classrooms, children can arrive as early as 6:00 a.m. to help accommodate parents' work schedules. Family style breakfasts are served from 7:00 - 8:00 a.m.. After eating, children can select quiet games, self-directed art, or other activities to participate in prior to boarding the bus for school. After school, children arrive by bus at 3:45, and receive a snack before engaging in indoor or outdoor free play and then homework time. |
