So that the children may...

“Grow in the grace and knowledge of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
- II Peter 3:18

WE BELIEVE
• Early childhood education is a significant avenue for
congregational mission outreach in the community.

• Early childhood education is a ministry to the families
of young children by providing a parent program
designed for support, encouragement and opportunities
that enhance the educational and development
processes already present in the home.

• The young child is a gift from God (Psalm 127:3) and
learns best about God’s world through experimentation
and exploration. Therefore, the early childhood program
plans developmentally appropriate activities and values
play as an avenue of learning.

• Each child is a unique and special child of God and we
promote her/his self-esteem and individuality. We
therefore subscribe to sequential learning and while
learning is encouraged, it should not be hurried.

• Early childhood education should provide a warm and
loving Christ-centered environment where children can
develop to their fullest potential; physically,
emotionally, socially, creatively, intellectually and
spiritually.

• Early childhood education is a joint ministry that
involves the congregation, the community, the staff,
the family and the child.
