We believe that play and learning go hand-in-hand and that they are not separate activities. Therefore, our classrooms are center-based with a curriculum that supports a balance of student-directed and teacher-directed activities. Our goal is to help students become life long learners who are competent socially, academically and emotionally. In all of our classrooms we use research-based curriculum and have monthly curriculum themes as well. Daily lessons and concepts are augmented with children’s literature, non-fiction books and online learning sites. In addition, every day in our classrooms we have the privilege to read the Bible and share stories with the children during “Jesus Time.” Each week a new story from the Bible is presented to the children along with crafts, songs and finger plays which make the story come alive. We are so blessed to be able to share Jesus with the little ones in our classrooms.
