Teaching from a Christian worldview, we encourage children to actively explore God’s creation and discover their place in it. Our daily activities include devotions and prayer, activities to develop gross and fine motor skills, numeracy, literacy, music and creative skills. We provide opportunities to develop social skills and learn about the world around us as well as prepare for the best start at school.
