Please note 2 changes for our new 2010/2011 school year:

1) all classes will be straight 4 year olds or straight 3 year olds, (there will be no more combined age classes).

2) the 4 year old program will be a 2 1/2 hour program in order to offer a more extensive teaching time to prepare your 4 year old for their next year in Kindergarten.

The needs of the children were valued highly by Jesus Himself as illustrated in Mark 10:14 when He said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."  We feel that each child needs to develop intellectually, socially, physically and spiritually, therefore your child will be exposed to Bible stories, songs, poems, games, large and small muscle equipment and a variety of other activities.

PHILOSOPHY OF DISCIPLINE AND GUIDANCE - Our aim is to assist each individual child to develop a strong sense of self-acceptance as well as a sense of well being and mutual respect for others and ourselves.

DUTY DAYS - A mom, dad or other designated person is required to take a turn having a Duty Day.  Your turn will come about once every 6-8 weeks.  This becomes a very special time for your children.  If for any reason this is not possible, a charge of $10 will be made and someone else will take your place.  It is the responsibility of the parents to find a replacement for themselves if they are not able to make their duty day.
