Our teacher candidates are loving our model. Their number one complaint is how overwhelming and exhausting it is to tend to so many children, even if the ratios are low, but the room sizes are large. They are excited we have created a better learning environment for children thus producing a better teaching environment for our staff. They also appreciate the better pay and benefits that our center provides. The culture combined with the compensation makes for quality, dedicated, and refreshed teachers ready to provide exceptional care and education.

We encourage you to research the benefits of mixed-age groups. Here are just a few examples. God designed the family unit. Mixed age group classrooms mimic God's design of the family and neighborhood groups. They promote leadership in the older children and allow them to teach, help, share, and explain, fostering academic and socials skills that better prepare them for kindergarten while boosting self-esteem and confidence. Mixed-age groups stimulate each other's development and allow children to be challenged more so than with their peer group. We believe in the benefits of the mixed-age groups, especially coupled with small classroom sizes and a designated teacher. Your child is sure to thrive, learn, grow, and excel in academic and social skills that will ensure your child is ready for kindergarten.

We are not affiliated with a particular denomination or church. We teach about the love of Jesus and Christian principles through books, stories, and activities based on the scripture in The Bible.

We welcome all children and families. We are not here to promote a particular denomination. We simply teach of Jesus’ love through stories in the Bible. Our main goal is to provide excellent care and education for your child. We believe that part of that exceptional care is teaching Christian principles that are also taught in other faiths and beliefs, such as loving your neighbor, being kind and helpful, and living a moral, productive, and healthy life.

For our infants, we have cribs with breathable mattresses and mattress pads. The fitted sheets are washed, and the cribs are sanitized daily. The toddlers have mats with pillows and blankets. We wash them weekly, and each child has their own set. Naps for toddlers are provided in the morning and afternoon. Children in our mixed age Preschool rooms nap once a day. Older children are not required to nap and can instead choose a quiet activity to play at the table with the teacher or they may have activities outside the classroom such as recess time or arts and crafts or library time. Because we do not include our supervisors, management, or activity room teachers in our ratios, it allows us much flexibility to leave younger children resting under the watchful eye of a caregiver, while allowing the older children to leave the room for an activity.

Healthy and fresh-cooked meals are prepared on-site by a dedicated cook! We serve breakfast, lunch, and a hearty snack for 3 healthy meals a day. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein are core ingredients in our menu. We source organic and soy when available.  Kids learn culinary skills through fun and delicious activities such as frosting cupcakes, making ice cream cones and shaved ice, decorating cookies, and even preparing their own healthy snacks. Children eat family-style in their rooms with their small group and designated teachers. Children learn manners and healthy eating habits while being exposed to various nutritious foods, all in a family-style environment that promotes lifelong good eating habits.

We have many ways for your child to be active during the day! Our indoor playroom promotes health, movement, and learning year-round! We have the area’s only Noah’s Arc Indoor Splashpad and Play Center! Kids can play year-round in water inside our heated indoor splash pad. Our interactive floor projectors allow children of all ages to burn energy, while learning and having fun, even in the cold long winter months. Interactive wall play provides fun STEM learning for all age groups. In the warmer months, we have a full-sized outdoor play area with multiple activity centers, each designed to provide fun and safe age-appropriate play for all children in our program. Our discovery center welcomes young toddlers. Musical flower chimes promote language and reasoning skills, as well as pattern recognition. Tunnels and climbing rocks promote physical strength coordination and flexibility. Our great adventure play structure for our preschool-aged children provides fun in tunnels, slides and develops balance and coordination on the balance beams and skipping steps. Children learn to work together in the spinning sphere. Children also explore, learn, and are active in planned field trips to the park, zoo, science museum, and other fun and educational spots.

We charter buses through School Bus Inc. Their busses have age-appropriate restraints. We do not transport children in our own vehicles or by our staff. If we are in walking distance to the location, strollers with appropriate restraints are utilized to safely transport younger children. Two staff members are required in any activity that is outside of our center. We also invite parents and volunteers on these activities for additional supervision and safety.

We use a web-based program called BrightWheel. Each parent has an app on their phone in which they can communicate with their child’s teacher, receive updates throughout the day about their child, view announcements, menu, and schedules.

We provide CPR and first aid training to all staff members. Each staff member is required to have their certification up to date within 90 days of first employment or expiration of previous certification. We require all staff members to have experience working with children before joining our team. Our preschool and lead teachers, as well as all supervisors and management, are required to have a degree in early childhood development, teaching, a CDA, or similar equivalent. We put a high emphasis on education and training. We provide career development and training for all our staff throughout the year.

We put an extreme emphasis on child safety. Our center is always locked and only parents with a programmed security key on their phone can enter the building. All other visitors must check in with the front office and are guided through the building with staff.

All staff are CPR and First Aide certified. Field trips and activities outside the center will always have 2 staff members supervising.
