About the Provider

Description: We believe children learn best through play, nteraction, love and active strive to provide a loving, Christian environment that allows opportunities for each child to experience social, spiritual, emotional, intellectual and physical growth. It is vital to provide a curriculum that considers each child’s individual needs, learning styles and stage of development. Also, we feel it is necessary to foster an atmosphere of teamwork between school and home that allows the child to smoothly make the transition to school and keeps the family involved in each step along the way.
