Infants, Toddlers 1 and Toddler 2
The first two years in a child's life are filled with growth, awareness, relationships and exploration. Each child will develop at his/her own pace. As parents and caregivers we need to respect and encourage each child's individual development. Children need to feel trust for the adults around them and live in a nurturing environment that promotes confidence in their abilities to explore the world around the. This is a wonderful time to introduce our Christian faith to them in a day-to-day living. Parents need to communicate frequently with caregivers for information regarding the daily new developments as they occur.

A child enters the transition room at age two and remains there until age three and potty trained. There are some special rules that do apply to the childcare of infants, toddlers and transition. Please request a handbook for more information.

Tots, Pre-Biginners, Begindergarden
These children are alive with the excitement of learning, exploring and growing wonderfully independent. However, they need to feel the nearness of the family at the same time. They accept God's love as natural and are fascinated with the Bible stories and the wonders of God's care. Our Center is designed to nurture the whole child's individual development in a comfortable, secure environment. Parents need to communicate frequently with caregivers for information regarding the daily developments as they occur.

There are some special rules that do apply to the childcare of threes, fours and fives. Please request a handbook for more information.

School Age
"Schoolagers" are children ages five to twelve; grades kindergarten to six. They are the "big kids" who get to go to school during the days, but join our Center family before or after school, and during their school vacation days. The Center's goal is to find new, positive ways for these children to spend their extended days away from home. As a Christian Center, we will nurture their faith development in prayer, devotions and Bible lessons.

There are some special rules that do apply to the childcare of schoolage children. Please request a handbook for more information.

Preschool
Not all families need childcare for their children, but they do want to provide the social experience a few hours each week. Our preschool program offers that option two or three days a week. Here the children have the opportunity to interact with others, while growing in their intellectual, spiritual, physical and social development. They will have wonderful opportunities to develop new relationships, expand their horizons, improve motor development and grow in their Christian knowledge and faith.
