Mission + Goals  + Curriculum

Mission:

• has a commitment to bring children to know Jesus

• desires to minister to families

• recognizes the growing need for quality day care

• chooses to be a positive force in the community

• has available space and resources

Therefore we, Peace Lutheran Church, have established a day care program in which we provide a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment for children of our congregation and community. Here the children will live and grow and learn in an atmosphere of Christian love and will know that they are children of God and loved by Him, through the teaching, care, and commitment of a Christian staff.

Goals:

• Provide quality day care for children in our community in an atmosphere of Christian love and caring.

• Support parents in the Christian nurturing process and help the children grow in their relationship with God.

• Provide an atmosphere of acceptance and encouragement, helping children develop a positive self image.

• Help the children grow in their relationship with others, learning to share and interact in socially acceptable ways.

• Give the children ample opportunities for self-expression, providing guidance and suggestions which expand their horizons of understanding and thinking.

• Exercise loving discipline and teach the children God's standard of conduct.

• Extend the children's language abilities through stories, poems and real life experiences which build vocabulary and encourage oral expression, (field trips, "show and tell").

• Provide experiences that stimulate curiosity and the desire to learn.
