				Philosophy We believe that each child is a unique individual created by God. We try to recognize each child’s mental, emotional, social, physical and spiritual needs. Believing this, we encourage feelings of self-worth and individuality. This empowers children to find identity, purpose and strength as they find their God given gifts and live their lives for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We believe that the parents are the first and foremost teachers in a child's life and we are here to assist and support them in that role.
