The spiritual development of your children is our primary purpose.

Our Approach
God has a unique plan for your child (Jeremiah 1:5) so the developmental needs of your child are met through free play, structured play, reading, art activities, music, weekly chapel, Christ-centered social interaction, dramatic play, and language development.
