Curriculum
View our: Early Learning Class Curriculum (Toddler, Preschool & Pre-K), and our Toddler through Preschool Thematic Studies here:
Music
Our themes help children explore the world around them, taking a look at other cultures, creating rich experiences and introductions to the world beyond their own front door.
Bible
Age-appropriate Bible Curriculum used in each class. The love of Jesus is shared through stories and in our actions.

Math concepts are incorporated in art and movement activities. These are highly effective programs that teach sorting, classification, pattern extension, prediction, measurement and more!

We immerse our students in language and poetry every day to help them develop a rich vocabulary.

We introduce children to the amazing world that our God created through
stories, art, and hands-on activities.

Pre-writing skills are introduced through letter recognition in our Toddler and Preschool classes. Handwriting Without Tears is used in Pre-K.
