Overview
Our program is highly individualized, offering a wide range of materials and utilization of ideas and experiences from several schools of educational thought.
A child is free to work independently or in groups according to his developmental level. There are learning stations for a broad range of science, music, art, creative drama, pre-math and pre-reading on sequentials levels. A child selects his work independently on his own growth schedule.
Developing a good self-image is important to the child. This image grows as he or she learns new skills, develops self-control, and learns to assume responsibilities for choices, while following through his or her needs and ideas.
Each child is valued as an individual. A feeling of God's love for families and all people is on going in loving, caring relationships with other children and a well-trained staff.
