 Our Program
Classes are offered for children 18 months through Kindergarten.  Each class is staffed by highly qualified and experienced teaching professionals. All classes meet from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. from September through May.  A morning snack is provided and each child brings his or her lunch.

Through a variety of planned activities which include physical activity, group interaction, art, language, science, music, number exploration, movement and dramatic play, children will grow and develop a good image of their own self worth as children of God. Spanish with Senorita Carmen Scherrer for the threes, fours and kindergarten classes is once a week and for the 2-day 3's, music and Spanish is twice a month.  Mud Puddle Science, LLC with Jody Ullmann is offered to our 4’s and kindergarten classes once a month.  Music and Chapel are offered once a week to our classes.

Monthly themes provide a foundation for each student.  Teachers use age appropriate exploration in the classroom.  The monthly themes are supported by special guests and / or field trips.  There is a Christmas Music Program in December and a Spring Music Program in May each year.
