About the Provider
A child is a very precious gift from God. At Little Sonbeams Christian Preschool, we believe that the care and nurture of every child is a sacred trust. We consider it a privilege and responsibility to serve our community by offering a quality preschool program. Each child will be encouraged to develop at his/her own pace through individual as well as group instruction. Each child is unique. God has given to each child his or her own set of talents and gifts. These gifts are life seeds that begin to grow as they are given the proper nurture. Our Program offers a wide variety of experiences that appeal to children. These experiences are designed to stimulate a child's interests and prepare him or her for kindergarten. Our greatest hope for each child is that he or she will form a positive attitude toward learning, school, him or herself, and others. We hope each child will begin to see his or her life as important and how much God loves him or her in Jesus Christ.
