About Us
Our Mission
To provide high quality Christian-based educational experiences for the preschool children and their families.
Our Philosophy of
Christian Education
To provide high quality Christian-based educational experiences for the preschool children and their families.
Our Philosophy of
Christian Education
Every child is a child of God and a unique composite of individual gifts. Each child should have an opportunity to develop these gifts while being accepted in her or his uniqueness. These gifts can best be developed through freedom to explore a rich environment, using all of her or his senses, while providing the boundaries and guidance she or he needs for security. This rich environment should not only include stimulation for physical, mental, social and emotional development, but also those adults that can lead a child to know the character of God through their Christ-like actions.
Our Core Values
- Christian
- Provide high quality education
- Give loving care to children
- Work with families--recognize diversity of family types
- Show respect to each child and family
- Encourage families to grow in their own faith journey
- Consider the developmental needs of the children first
- Be in harmony with the mission of the total church
- Active participant with UMAP (United Methodist Association of Preschools) and its standards
- The working environment provides support for staff--spiritually, professionally, financially, and recognizes the need to address family concerns
- Honor the form that has been successful, while constantly exploring new forms of programming to fulfill our mission
- Consistently work for better ways to do what we're doing
The Preschool Mission, Core Values and Philosophy are not just words. They are played out in every day with the children, and guide program and policies.

High Scope, http://www.highscope.org/ and Creative Curriculum, http://www.creativecurriculum.net/ used as our curriculum guides are Developmentally Appropriate Programs or DAP in early childhood education language. That means that the things we teach and way we teach them are just right for children of these ages. All of this is based on educational and brain research, and frankly some common sense. That is why your child will come home telling you of the experiences she had through play, because supported play is the way young children learn best. That is also why we do not have formal performances by children or graduation. Those activities are more appropriate and meaningful for older children.
