Our Goals:

  • To share Christian beliefs through stories, songs, prayers, and experiences, discovering God in His world.

  • To provide quality care for children away from their parents by providing stimulating learning activities for independent thinking, social growth and enjoyment.

  • To provide a structured, daily routine to enhance the child’s learning.

  • To provide opportunities to work and play with others, to begin appreciating others in God’s family.

  • To support each family in their Christian family growth and development.

  • Matching and exceeding expectations of New Lenox school kindergarten curriculum.
