Philosophy

• A non-profit and charitable organization that helps children experience the love of God, through play and exploration in a Christian environment.

• Enhance the social development of children by encouraging and developing positive, loving relationships, and good manners.
• Enhance the emotional development of children by helping them manage feelings and express them in a constructive way.
• Enhance the intellectual development of children by encouraging a desire to learn, fostering thinking processes, and helping children to acquire and use verbal skills. 
• Enhance physical development of children by promoting balanced and good nutrition, and by developing their large, fine, and sensory motor skills.
