Our Mission

We are committed to treating each child and family with respect and compassion, regardless of faith. It is our mission to be a supplement to the home and to make possible experiences promoting social, physical, emotional, academic and spiritual growth and sharing the love of Jesus as Lord.

 

Eligibility
 

We use the same cut-off date as most area school systems of August 1st to determine eligibility in classes. All classes and curriculum are appropriately age based.

 

 

Calendar  

The school year runs from the 1st week of September through mid-May.

 

 

Potty Training Policy  

 

Those entering our Doves class do not need to be potty trained. All other children must be. We do encourage self-help skills in the bathroom for all ages. If your child is not currently potty trained but may be by September, please indicated on your enrollment form.

 

Daily Schedule  

 

* Opening activities

We believe children learn best through exploration and play. We provide an environment where learning takes place naturally through hands-on activities and creative play.

 

NOTE: The schedule is flexible to meet the needs of the lessons, projects and the way children are responding on any particular day.
