We serve the whole person - mind, body, and soul. In the classroom, our students grow in knowledge of God’s creation and their relation to it, as well as their social and emotional needs. Our early education classrooms are play-based, thus helping to include all the senses of the student in their learning.
Most of all, we safeguard our students, hearts, minds, and souls, from influences that seek to corrupt young minds and destroy the innocence in which God has created them.
