MISSION

STATEMENT

Church in the Gardens Preschool first opened its doors in 1967. The mission was to reach out to the community to provide a safe, nurturing and educational environment for children. That same mission continues today as we minister to many families in our community.

 

We believe that Early Childhood Education lays the foundation for the future learning experience and molds a child’s attitude toward learning. “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6), Church in the Gardens Preschool is a ministry of Church in the Gardens and our goal is to help children find joy in learning and provide a foundation by which they can come to know God. We believe that development is a process which is fostered when each child experiences success and challenges daily. We provide quality care that enhances the social, emotional, physical, mental and spiritual development of each child through developmentally appropriate activities.

 

We respect parents as the primary and most important Teacher. We believe parents and teachers must form a partnership to guide children the developmental process with positive reinforcement and redirection. Each child is “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14) and will be respected and valued as unique individuals.
