School Motto: Sharing in the Wonder of God's Creation
Morning classes and full-day care are offered. Our youngest
students (age 2 by September 30) through Pre-Kindergarten enjoy
very small class sizes. The Junior Kindergarten is a full school
day (8:30-3:00) targeted to students who are technically of age to
go to Kindergarten but would benefit developmentally from another
year of preparation as the oldest class of leaders and role models
in our school. Our dedicated teachers understand that a
caring relationship with a trusted adult is essential to every
child`s success. Staff members work hand-in-hand with our
parents as partners in the education process.
