Early Childhood

Our energetic Early Childhood Program is designed to help our young learners have fun while preparing for kindergarten.  Students engage in enriching activities using a variety of materials and experiences as they learn about religion, language arts, math, science, technology, and social studies. Using Christ as our example, we help children develop a positive self-concept through an awareness that God has made each child special. All Faiths Are Welcome!
