is a ministry of Grey Stone Church. Our school seeks to provide a quality education program in a loving, caring environment for children ages two through kindergarten. We are dedicated to the principle that “education is a process by which children are assisted in their individual growing.”

We believe that every child has his own pattern of growth which is the key to his individuality and every child has a right to have his pattern of growth and individuality accepted, respected and used as a basis for planning his/her educational program.

To provide an environment which each child can develop physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually according to their God-given individuality.

To develop the creative power inherent in every child by keeping this environment both stimulating and secure, rich in experience and in materials, and one in which he is free to create, investigate and to manipulate.

To provide, in an atmosphere that is warm, friendly, and informal yet within the framework of a habit-forming routine, a joyful place for fun and education, where a child can know he is loved, understood and appreciated at his present level of development, while being encouraged toward new levels of maturity and self-expression.

And to provide, through observation, conferences, group meetings, and current literature an opportunity for parents to increase understanding of their child's development and to share with the staff and each other the concerns and joy of these earliest years of preschool life.

To nurture in each child a positive self-image.

To foster independence, self-control, self-confidence and initiative.

To provide an environment that will encourage each child’s natural curiosity and creativity.

To provide experiences that will encourage and develop all areas of language – self-expression, listening, representation and vocabulary.

To help each child develop appropriate social skills.

To provide experiences to develop physical skills and strength.

To promote awareness of, and appreciation for, the environment and the need to protect it.

To provide enriching experiences for aesthetic appreciation through art, music, literature and drama.

To build body awareness and knowledge of basic health and safety rules.

To provide developmentally appropriate experiences for the cognitive development of each child.

To foster problem solving by encouraging exploration, observation, persistence and risk-taking.

To observe and assess children continuously and to maintain an open, honest and supportive relationship with parents to share these observations and assessments.
