We endeavor to prepare children for truly Christian living and for eternal life. Cognitive Growth We provide a stimulating environment in which learning activities encourage the children to develop their capabilities to the fullest in preparation for Kindergarten. Social Growth We believe that good manners and positive social behavior is a vital part of the community in which we live. We instill in our pupils a desire to live together as children of God. Emotional Growth We promote the development of a positive self-image by instilling self-confidence, self-discipline and cooperation necessary for the child to reach his/her potential for learning. Physical Growth Every effort is made to foster the physical health and development of the child. Desirable health habits and nutrition are taught.
