3. Mission Statement & Philosophy Our Philosophy - We believe in the values of human diversity and that all children are loved unconditionally by God. It is our purpose to share God’s love with the children and their families, with Christ at the center of all activities. We offer an atmosphere that provides the kind of environment that influences and encourages children to use his/her God-given talents and abilities to become independent, responsible, fully functioning, self-directed adults. By providing a well balanced program, we feel each child can strive to continue learning and growing in relationships with Christ and others so that we may nurture a peaceful environment and surround the children with understanding, warmth and giving.
