Purpose...
    Our preschool is dedicated to providing a warm and caring environment where each child can develop socially, emotionally, cognitively, physically and spiritually.

Our Goal...
    The goal of our preschool is to provide an environment based on developmentally appropriate activities which focus on the process of learning by enjoying successful experiences. We are especially committed to each child's individuality and personal growth, as we know each child is unique and grows and develops at his/her own pace.

What helps make our preschool so great...
    Outstanding Classroom Ratios
                1:6 Classroom Ratios
                 Every classroom has two teachers for more individualized attention with
                 10-14 children (depending on age group).


    Convenient Pick-Up/ Drop-off Procedures
                Great for families with young children.

    Christian Values and Practices
                Daily Prayer, Christian curriculum topics, and monthly chapel times to
                 incorporate Christian Values and Character Building.


    Spiraling, Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum
                Collectively planned on a monthly basis to incorporate current trends, topics of interest,
                 developmentally appropriate practices, and to meet the needs of our preschool students. We utilize the Illinois Early Learning
                 Standards to assist us in focusing our curriculum on the different areas of cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.


    Experienced Teachers
                All teachers have several years experience in the area of Early Childhood
                 Education. Teachers are recertified yearly in CPR/First Aid and are expected to participate in ongoing staff development.
