Curriculum
Our curriculum is based off of Wisconsin Model Early Learning Standards. We include fine motor, large motor, art, sensory, circle time, stories, finger play and outside time in each day. Our teachers/staff strive to include Christian values and the love of Jesus Christ within the context of our daily program. Our programs create a Christian environment that fosters the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual well-being of the children in our care. Fine motor, large motor, art, sensory, circle time, stories, finger play, and outside time are included in each day.
