Our early childhood- elementary programs are designed to help lay the educational and spiritual foundation for children Birth – 5th Grade to succeed, as they matriculate from one grade level to the other. At the end of the program, our overall expectation is that these students will be: 1) Developmentally on track in all five domains; 2) Ready for kindergarten; and 3) Achieve academic proficiency to excel in all subjected areas (i.e. math, reading, science, social, and the arts).
This program is a private, Christ- Centered Program that operates year-round. It is accredited by Quality Rated GA Department of Early Learning and Care (Bright from the Start). We create a healthy, safe and fun environment where children can experience the joy of their childhood while away from home. We believe that children should be allowed to be children because each child is fearfully and wonderfully created by God. They are all unique in character and abilities. Therefore, we strive to provide opportunities where children can grow at their own pace and develop these abilities. The primary goal is for each child to develop spiritually and on developmental track in all five domains (physical, social, emotional, cognitive, literacy/language). This program utilizes the High Scope Curriculum and maintains low teacher-child ratios. Some of the enrichment features of this program are:

Description of Art Activities: Each artist is encouraged to embrace their creativity, to show appreciation for the arts, and to develop foundational art skills needed for them to become a successful future artist. In dance, students will execute dance routines or movements, master basic dance techniques, and understand ballet terminology and body positions. In music, the students will learn to identify notes of the treble and bass clef, as well as learn to read and play basic music notes. At the end of the art workshops, they will develop an appreciation for the work of famous artists from a variety of different cultures and develop their own creativity and artistic expression.

Our Supplemental education school age programs provide Academic support, Career exploration, and Community involvement (A.C.C.) opportunities for school age children and youth. We believe that after school activities should be developmentally age-appropriate, enriching hands-on and fun. During their out of school hours, school-age students should participate in their areas of interest, examine new fields of interest, explore hands-on activities, and engage in activities that will promote and expand their physical, social, emotional and cognitive growth. We also believe that every student should be given the opportunity to grow in the aforementioned areas despite their race, religion, gender, disability and economic status. At the end of school year: 1) K-3rd Grade Students will become reading proficiently; 2) 4th – 8th Grade students will exceed 8th Grade Math Standards; 3) 8th – 12th Grade students will be ready for and graduate HS successfully.
