"Growing in LOVE....with God, self and others"
We acknowledge that each child is a unique gift from God with individual
needs and abilities. We strive to develop each child's positive feeling
about self, others and learning in general through the sharing of God's
love and word.
Goals
We strive to provide stimulating learning experiences to educate the total
child. We encourage group socialization and personal independence. We
structure specific learning experiences and free time exploration. We offer
art and music activities aimed at encouraging individual expression.

We seek parental involvement and concern in helping us meet our goals
and in providing a happy, healthy atmosphere for growth and maturity. To
the ends of achieving this philosophy, the following goals will be given to
