What curriculum do you follow?

We follow the High/Scope curriculum. This curriculum is all about active learning. The children take their own initiative in the learning process. The adults also play a key role as they fully interact, talk and encourage the children in their experiences. This curriculum also places a huge emphasis on having a set routine. We follow the same routine every day. Our daily routine is in our parent handbook.

Do you provide snacks and lunch for the children?

We are a class “B” license school. Parents bring two snacks and a lunch every day. Milk is provided as a part of the reistration fee.

Do you teach Bible Stories to the children?

Yes, we teach the children about their Savior, Jesus Christ through our Bible stories each week. For example, children will learn how God created the world, they will learn about Noah, Abraham, and Moses. They will also learn the New Testament stories – Jesus’ birth, life, death, and resurrection, etc.
