In response to covid 19
Our school has always considered student and staff safety to be of the upmost importance. With the sudden appearance of COVID 19 in early 2020, we followed our local school district and promptly shut down operation of the school. While we missed our families greatly we knew that we had to do our what needed to be done for public safety.
With the reopening of schools in the Fall of 2020, we too plan to reopen our doors. We will start by hosting summer play dates by July 9th or as soon as Spokane County can enter Phase 3 of the reopening timeline. We will only offer outside play for the play dates and there will be lots of hand washing and sanitizer available. When school starts again, there will be a different feel to school for sure, however our love for our students and their families will be the same! If you are interested in reserving a place for your child at our school, please give us a call and we will answer any questions you may have. Please rest assured that we do have a plan in place to help keep our kids and those who love them as safe as we can.

Our program & goals
The most important goal of our early childhood
curriculum is to help children become enthusiastic learners.
This means encouraging children to be active and creative explorers who are not afraid to try out their ideas and to think their own thoughts. We strive to help children become independent, self-confident, inquisitive learners.
This is achieved in many ways, including:
Christian Education with Spiritual Enrichment
Development of Language, Math, Reading, Science, and Social Skills
Large and small group work Individual learning centers
Physical Development and Play Music Exploration
Arts & Crafts Field Trips
Nutritious Snacks/Cooking Exploration thru Technology

Preschool
For Beginner's
ages 3-4
2 days/week
Tues., Fri. 8:30-11:30 a.m.
Through positive encouragement and creative exploration, preschool children learn to to separate from parents and see themselves as a capable individual. Children work on skills alone and in group activities which help them develop social skills and create a joy for learning.
Students will be exposed to letters, alphabet, numbers, colors, their name in print, music, art, literature, science, and Bible stories. They will learn and practice skills in the areas of fine and gross motor.
This group will venture out of the classroom a few times a year on field trips that directly relate to the learning in the classroom. They also get to be stars of the show during our two annual programs, at Christmas and in the spring.
We do play outside if the thermometer reads above 40 degrees and it's not raining. Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately each day.
Children need to be age 3 by Aug. 31st and must be independent in toileting. (exceptions can be made at the teacher's discretion)
