 OUR PHILOSOPHY & CURRICULUM

PHILOSOPHY

​

At Preschool Learning Center, we believe that young children are curious, capable, and eager learners. Our philosophy is built on the understanding that each child is unique, and we honor their individual needs, interests, and developmental stages. We embrace a holistic approach to education that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit, ensuring that each child experiences love, respect, and guidance in a Christ-centered environment. 

​

We believe that play is the most powerful tool for learning in early childhood. It is through creative play, exploration, and interaction that children develop essential cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills. In addition to these developmental areas, we integrate Christian principles into all our activities. Bible stories from both the Old and New Testament are woven into daily lessons, helping children understand God’s love, the importance of kindness, and the value of living with faith and compassion. We encourage children to engage in both structured and unstructured play, where they can investigate, solve problems, express creativity, and develop important life skills such as cooperation, patience, and resilience.

​

We recognize that social and emotional skills are foundational to a child’s success both in school and in life. Through guided activities, peer interactions, and emotional support, we help children learn to navigate their feelings, develop friendships, and understand the importance of kindness, fairness, and responsibility.

​

Above all, our goal is to instill a love of learning in every child and to develop a personal relationship with Jesus and carry His values into their daily lives. We strive to create a positive and joyful learning environment where children feel confident to explore, make mistakes, and celebrate successes. By nurturing their natural curiosity, spiritual development and imagination, we lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.

​

CURRICULUM
