To provide a loving and caring environment in which each child is encouraged to grow and develop at his/her own rate.

Goals

To provide an opportunity for children to develop an awareness of God's love as experienced through relationships with teachers, caregivers, other children, and the child's family.

To encourage independence and self-confidence through activities which help the child to succeed and recognize his/her success.

To provide opportunities for the children to recognize and express feelings in appropriate ways.

To provide multi-cultural opportunities for children to grow in their understanding of the world in which they live.
