Our Curriculum
We are committed to offering quality Christian based early childhood education. We use the ABC Jesus Loves Me curriculum. This is a research based curriculum that focuses on the Bible, education, and development. We believe that a child's work is play. Our children are given the opportunity to learn about God and the world around them through fun hands-on experiences. You can learn more about the program at ABCJesuslovesme.com. We have also added GOD’s Little Explorers: A-Z Adventures in GOD’s Word and World for Preschoolers. This curriculum travels through the Bible and focuses on bible adventures, theme adventures, ABCs and 123s and life skills. You can learn more about this evolving program at www.motherhoodonadime.com/gods-little-explorers-preschool-curriculum.
