Curriculum
We are a faith-based Christian learning center where children are LOVED! Preschool children learn through play and interaction with other children. We provide many opportunities for the children to learn about God's love and to explore the world He created. Our program lays the foundation for children to be happy and successful now and in their future school years through play-based learning centers.
Children are guided through both child-initiated and teacher directed activities. The children enjoy many activities including story time, creative art, music, recess, alphabet, colors, numbers, and shapes. The CLC provides a Kindergarten readiness program and uses the Project WILD curriculum in exploring nature with young children along with State Standards and NAEYC Criteria. Children attend chapel & music on a weekly basis.

Discipline
The Children’s Learning Center teachers use a redirection and positive guidance approach with the children. Time out is not utilized in our facility; however the teacher may ask the child to step away from a situation in order to calm down or to think of a better way to approach the situation. A child is never asked to sit in a corner, on a time out chair, or to remain away from the group for any length of time.
