Curriculum Goals and Religious Education

Curriculum Goals

• Experiences are provided that meet each child's needs and stimulate learning in all developmental areas including physical, social, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual
  
  
• Each child is viewed as a unique person with an individual pattern and timing of growth and development. Different levels of ability, development, and learning styles are expected, accepted, and used to design appropriate activities.
  
  
• Interactions and activities are designed to develop children's self esteem and positive feelings toward learning.

Religious Education

We believe that spiritual growth is an integral and inseparable part of a child's well being. If nurtured properly, this spiritual growth occurs naturally in conjunction with the other aspects of a child's development. Our objective is to provide this spiritual nurturing by way of our day to day actions, speech, and our non-denominational Christian curriculum. We endeavor to show God's love for us by teaching and practicing the “Golden Rule” and we encourage an attitude of thanksgiving for God's gifts by teaching and using simple prayers in class. A Scripture verse is part of our weekly activities and appropriate Bible stories are included, especially the Christmas story. Additionally, students attend chapel in our sanctuary every Wednesday.
