We're Getting Ready

Teachers have been hard at work getting their classrooms ready for the children! We're looking forward to seeing parents on Wednesday 9/1 at 7:00 in the Sanctuary.

If you're planning on coming out for the church clean-up day tomorrow 8/28, bring a pitchfork and you can help spread our new load of mulch on the playground. The truck should be there about 9:30 with a big load of brand new cypress mulch!

School Year 2010-2011

It's just one week until staff returns to begin getting ready for the 2010-2011 school year. We hope that all of our families have had a wonderful and relaxing summer and look forward to seeing all of our parents at our Open House on Wednesday, September 1, at 7:00 in the Sanctuary.

Our TTh two-year-old class will come in from 9:00-10:30 on Thursday, September 2, for a Get-Acquainted session with their teachers. All other children will have their Get-Acquainted day from 9:00-10:30 on Friday, September 3. Our first full official day of school is Tuesday, September 7, after the Labor Day holiday.


See you soon!

We maintain the high standards 0f the Georgia Accreditation Commission and are proud of our Accreditation with Quality rating. Our goal is to provide a high quality preschool education in a Christian atmosphere and setting. For a brief overview of our academic goals, see the excerpt from our handbook below.

Academic Instruction

The primary goal of our two-year-old and three-year-old programs is to help each child develop his or her full potential as an individual and group member. This is accomplished by providing an environment where he or she can be stimulated and challenged with activities which develop gross and fine motor coordination, visual perception, and the ability to reason and communicate.

The four-year-old program is designed to answer the needs of students entering kindergarten, whether they have had little previous experience or have already had some readiness preparation. Individual success is the key to this program. We work with each child to help him/her learn the skills and concepts necessary to ensure success in reading, writing, math, science, and social studies.
