Core Tenants
FAITH
The Christian faith is our foundation, fostering spiritual growth, moral development, and a loving environment that nurtures the whole child—soul, mind, and body. Guided by John 8:12: "I am the Light of the World; he who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
NATURE
We prioritize outdoor learning, providing at least 2 hours daily through activities like free play, gardening, forest exploration, and guided experiences that foster essential child development.
PLAY
We believe that young children learn best through creative play. Our hands on curriculum uses play with structured activities to promote the development of cognitive, motor, and social skills.
