Our learning model is grounded on our unique SPECS framework. This framework identifies key milestones for early learners and clearly isolates outcomes that show progression towards healthy, vibrant childhood growth. Milestones are achieved through meaningful, fun, age-appropriate learning experiences that are carefully designed to spark curiosity, purposeful playtimes, and skill development. Within each program, milestones are assessed through observation and age-appropriate assessments.
Our little ones understand they are created and loved by an amazing God who has great plans for them! With this in mind, the learning enviroment infuses the Gospel into all activities for our students. Some highlights include: morning worship, weekly chapel, daily bible lessons, character education, & purposeful prayer.
Learning centers create active, purposeful, focused educational experiences for our students. We provide the following centers for all levels of learning:
Nurturing inquisitive minds and inspiring curiosity. Experiments and experiences with the natural world, with living and non-living things, enable children to develop important scientific process skills, such as observing, questioning, comparing, and predicting.
STEAM is an educational philosophy that brings Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathmatics together for meaningful educational experiences. STEAM lessons help our little learners explore these areas of study with hands-on real-world learning activities.
Outdoor learning spaces are age-appropriate and thematically designed each month to facilitate active learning outdoors. Our campus has two age-specific playgrounds for our students and a gardening center where students get to grow and pick veggies!
Social emotional activities for preschoolers focus on play and developmentally appropriate activities that foster essential skills! Through research-backed emotional activities, students become aware and able to better manage their emotional state as they grow in empathy and love.
Enrichment learning is a unique part of our curriculum that little learners always look forward to. We provide second language exposure each week through Spanish, Mandarin Chinese, and sign language lessons. Music, Chapel, and worship classes, as well as library exploration are some of the key opportunities for our students to learn and grow.
