STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
Noah’s Ark Christian Daycare and Preschool is a ministry of Connecting Pointe Church. The services provided are designed to assist parents in meeting the demands placed on them and to reinforce Christian principles. AT
NOAH’S ARK WE BELIEVE CHILDREN ARE A GIFT FROM GOD. They are constantly learning, observing, and imitating. Therefore, all of our Christian staff is committed to giving your child individual interaction in a nurturing environment. Our goal is to provide surroundings that have a home-like atmosphere in an age appropriate setting; and above all, loving caregivers. Each child is recognized and respected for their unique God-given talents. Our goal is to help your child identify, develop, and support individual strengths to their fullest. All of our staff members are experienced childcare providers, devoted to children and upholders of our statement of philosophy. All staff members will treat each child as if the child were their very own. Because we want to provide a stable and secure environment for your child– we avoid rotating or alternating caregivers in your child’s room. The friendly faces your child will see will be the same day-in and day-out. As a non-profit ministry, our rooms are staffed based on the needs of the children-not the demands of our profitability. We recognize and appreciate the trust placed in us each time a parent chooses Noah’s Ark to provide care for their child-it is a trust we take seriously. Our teachers strive to provide an educational and developmentally appropriate environment for children that promotes Christian values, enhances character development, and nurtures each child’s individual strengths. STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
At Noah’s Ark Daycare we offer a quality early childhood education program. This program includes a stimulating environment with
activities that provide opportunities for the growth and development of each child physically, socially, emotionally, intellectually, and
spiritually. PHYSICALLY
Our program provides space, equipment, and activities to help your child develop gross motor and fine motor skills as well as balance, agility and coordination. SOCIALLY
Taking turns, respecting others and sharing are necessary social skills for your child to develop. We provide experience for them to do this by peer, one-on-one, and group interaction. EMOTIONALLY
We encourage children to express their feelings. Since childhood is a time filled with emotions, we feel it is important to let children know they can express their feelings, both negative and positive, and help equip them with the tools to do this in appropriate ways. INTELLECTUALLY
Intellectual development is crucial in early childhood. Our program provides intellectual stimulation through age-appropriate teachings by giving the children opportunities to explore numbers, grasp spatial concepts, practice phonics, recognize colors and shapes, increase speech and language skills, and more. SPIRITUALLY
At Noah’s Ark, we recognize and strive to meet each child’s need for spiritual development. Basic Biblical concepts are taught using a Christian curriculum and reinforced daily through various media,
including Bible stories, songs, Bible verses and prayer before meals and snacks. Christian staff help to portray good role models for your child in an atmosphere of love, forgiveness and understanding. It is a top priority in our program. OUR BELIEF:
That children and families are a gift from God and it is our privilege to be of service. OUR MISSION:
To provide a patient and loving atmosphere in which children can grow, learn and develop. OUR MINISTRY:
To meet the total needs of children and their families (physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual). OUR STAFF:
Qualified and committed to meeting the needs of our families by providing meaningful and comprehensive child care.
“Whoever accepts one of these little children in My name, accepts Me.”
