GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Our goal is to provide a safe and loving environment in which young children can learn Christian values, self-confidence, independence and a respect for others.  We provide developmentally appropriate activities that are selected to help children grow socially, emotionally and intellectually.  We will strive to do this by helping children:

• become more independent in caring for themselves and environment
• develop skill in making choices
• respect other individuals and interact successfully with peers
• stimulate the development of their senses in order to be aware of the environment and to appreciate it
