Our Philosophy
This program focuses on the child as a unique gift
from God influenced by the dynamics of family, church,
community, and society at large.
We are committed to providing a quality Christian
program of biblical family values that will enrich the
physical, emotional, intellectual, and psychological,
social, spiritual growth of children and their caregivers.
Our Belief
It is our belief that God equips each child with unique
gifts and abilities which may be developed and
expanded
in a positive Christian learning environment.
We hope to enable each child with a solid moral
education so that they can take risks, grow, develop,
and have a positive attitude on learning and succeeding.
