Staff
Our program provides children many opportunities to foster independence and healthy self-esteem while fostering Christian values. Skill development is encouraged through activities such as math, reading readiness, language, science and motor coordination. Creativity and social skills are fostered through music and movement experiences, creative arts and dramatic play.
Our teaching staff is well qualified by education and experience in working with children of a variety of ages. It is the goal of our staff to build self-esteem and to help the child develop satisfying relationships with people outside the homeE
