We strive to create a place where each child feels loved and accepted and begins to understand that he/she is one of God's most wonderful creations. Our Bunny and Tiger classes are dedicated to developing each child’s social and cognitive skills according to early childhood educational foundations in a play-based learning environment while engaging children in structured and unstructured play, hands-on experiences, daily circle time, creative projects, and music. Our Junior, Senior, and Transitional Kindergarten classes are dedicated to developing each child's social and cognitive skills while encouraging all children to be inquisitive and enthusiastic learners. Our teachers expose children to all types of kindergarten readiness experiences including letters, numbers, gross and fine motor activities, singing, story time and a multitude of hands-on experiences. The classes are two, three, or four days a week, depending on the child's age. Each Junior, Senior, and Transitional Kindergarten class is taught by teacher with a college degree in an education-related area of study from an accredited school plus an assistant.
