About the Provider

Description: Our Philosophy The preschool and kindergarten years are the most significant in the development of children. It represents a time when learning is swift and curiosity is at its peak. The mission of Honey MacCallum Christian Preschool & Kindergarten is to provide a safe, enjoyable Christian learning environment for young children. We offer an opportunity to help children develop an awareness of the presence of God in their world: to present God as loving and forgiving and to introduce the church to preschoolers as a warm and inviting place where they can feel happy together. In order for children to develop fully, they need to explore at their own pace in an atmosphere of security and love. Curiosity and wonder need to be stimulated to help build self-esteem. During this formative time, independence, creativity and thinking need to be encouraged within appropriate limits. Above all, children with the help of caring, loving, trustworthy adults will come to know that God is loving, caring, and trustworthy.
