CA Preschool Mission:

  • Introduce God’s plan and the love of Jesus for the children, encouraging His values and character into their lives
  • Recognize formative years of children are an important window of opportunity to teach and equip them for life
  • Provide developmentally appropriate curriculum and emergent activities  that encompass the  spiritual, social, emotional, cognitive, and creative domains, engaging the whole child in learning
  • Provide a balanced combination of self –directed and teacher-directed experiences , recognizing that young children learn fundamentally different than older children, and that play constitutes a deeper form of learning
  • Provide learning experiences for children to develop confidence and self-esteem as they learn of God’s unique gifting and plan for their life
