The academic and Spiritual growth of each child is our top priority. We believe in close communication between parents, teachers, and administrators since the cooperative influence of home, school, and church can be invaluable to the education of the young child ProgramOur program is based upon Christian principles under the leadership of an excellent staff.

Teachers work closely with parents through daily communication and parent-teacher conferences. Each year, parents are invited to an open house to meet with teachers and view accomplishments. Parents may volunteer to work with students, help in the classroom and or help teachers.
