The Rock is a ministry of the church and is directed by the Pre-k Ministry Coordinator. We have been serving the Topeka since 2007. We are licensed to care for 58 students’ ages 12 months and walking to school age. The Rock offers children, at their own level of development, a wide variety of experiences that will encourage them to explore and learn in their own way...though play. We provide opportunity for individual and group activity, creative expression, school readiness skills, and much more. As a Christ-centered ministry there are biblical principles woven throughout our curriculum and daily schedule. We design learning to be through a biblical point of view. At the Rock, we see children as a unique gift from God and we consider it our joy and privilege to minister to children and partner with families in growing up children who are friends of Jesus. Our vision is to build strong foundation in young children’s lives. These solid foundations are built through growing relationships with Christ, family, and community, while encouraging the development of their spiritual, intellectual, and physical being. The Rock Pre-k Center accepts children regardless of race, color, national origin, s*x, creed, political persuasion, ancestry, or handicapping conditions. If a child has a special need, weather it be physical, social, emotional, or behavioral, we will do everything in our power to help that child be successful. Oftentimes we refer families to community outreach organizations such as Family Service and Guidance Center and special education programs offered by the local school district. We then work closely and partner parents and with that organization to provide excellent care for children.
