About Us

We are a play-based program, meaning we learn through play! Playing is a child's work. You can read more about the power of play here.

Our Vision

Our preschool will foster joy, promote learning, and support emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual development in a Christ-centered environment through play. We will strive to provide a safe, loving, creative, and nurturing environment that allows children to experience Christian values, recognize their emerging spiritual gifts, experience what it means to be a child of God, and learn to be a steward of God’s creation. We will honor diversity through a unique integration of childcare and education and build relationships while supporting a partnership with the child’s whole family structure.
