Full Day Kindergarten

A Christian based Kindergarten program that will offer students unique experiences every day that foster creativity, discovery, academic, social and emotional growth and a genuine love for learning. The warm, Christ- centered environment and closeness between day school families and staff will provide a quality, nurturing program that allows every child to be happy and successful.  Our curriculum aligns with common core standards and provides lessons in reading, writing, phonics, math, science, and social studies.  Maximum 12 children with 2 certified teachers

Parents Morning Out

Beginning in November, children are invited to pack a snack and attend a fun, play based preschool class on Friday mornings from 9:00-11:30.  There will be play time, stories, crafts, recess, and snack time.  This class is open to all ages 2-5.

The cost is $20 payable by cash or check the day of the program.

 Our list of Goals are skills we are working on all year long in our classes.  These goals are pulled right from the Pennsylvania State Standards for Early Childhood Education.  As the Standards are updated, we also update our curriculum. Our curriculum follows the Pennsylvania State Standards for Early Childhood Programs.  We work directly with the local school districts ensuring a smooth transition into Kindergarten.  Our highly qualified teachers send home weekly newsletters outlining their lessons for the week. There are weekly dynamic faith based lessons shared in each class.   Our class sizes are small allowing more individualized attention.  We have a Library/Story Play Room:  Inspired by new story each month, the library is decorated from floor to ceiling to become the story for the children to “play the story”.
