We believe each child is a unique creation of God and is valuable in His sight. 

We provide a loving, caring, and nurturing environment that fosters a warm and welcoming atmosphere for learning. Our program is based on meeting all the child’s individual needs: spiritual, social, physical, emotional, and intellectual.

The activities provided during the day are designed to meet specific goals in each area of development through our carefully selected Early Childhood Curriculum. While play is an important component to child development, students will also engage in purposeful learning activities to meet distinct educational objectives. The curriculum is further enriched through the co-curricular classes of Spanish, Music, Physical Education, Library Literature Enrichment, and Chapel. Kindergarteners will add Art to their co-curricular schedule.
