You can feel comfortable that your infants and toddlers (newborn through age 2) are in a safe and loving environment.  Our excellent caregivers play with and care for your children.

Preschool - Room 102

What an imaginative group of children!  Each week the children hear, see, and interact with God's stories in the Bible that illustrate to them God's love.  The children engage with the story through storytelling, games, art, sharing, and play.  We utilize The Beginner's Bible as our basis for our classes.  Our imaginative and creative teacher develops her own lessons from the Bible that the children can share with their families.

Kindergarten & First Grade - Room 200

Imagination and independence...at this age the children have wonderful imaginations and are exploring their boundaries!  Each week the children hear, see, and interact with God's stories in the Bible showing them God's love and how they can make a difference in the world.  We utilize a teaching method called Godly Play, where stories are told using 3-D elements that engage their minds and hearts.  Asking "I wonder..." questions, children ask themselves what God is saying to them and how do they live as Christians.  They then respond to what God is doing with them through their own creativity.

Second & Third Grade - Room 203
