Special Features
Worship Time - We
enhance the spiritual growth of our children through a special
time set aside each day to gather within the classroom or
church sanctuary and celebrate God's Love. We listen to Bible
stories, sing songs, do finger plays, share and pray. This
special time is led by our preschool or church staff.
Field Trips - We
take monthly field trips to local care centers. The children
have an opportunity to socialize with the residents. We work
on projects, sing songs and read stories hand-in-hand. The
appreciation and love shared by the residents and children
is indescribable.
