Objectives:
- Provide a safe, happy, Christian environment in which the children can grow physically, socially, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
- Accept each child as an individual and provide opportunities for self-expression, investigation, and participation in group activities.
- Allow each child the opportunity to grow and develop at his or her own pace, always encouraged and guided by caring adults.
- Enable opportunities for church, home, and school to work together in meeting the needs of the children and their parents.
- Establish an atmosphere where children are encouraged to develop personal responsibility, mutual cooperation with their peers, respect for authority and a positive self-esteem.
