Our Philosophy is to provide each child with the opportunity to grow mentally, socially, spiritually, physically, and most importantly, develop a relationship with Jesus Christ.

Our Mission is to create a Christ-centered learning environment within every classroom.  We strive to support and guide the children within our school to ensure spiritual growth and academic success.  We focus our daily curriculum and objectives on the development of each child’s cognitive, social-emotional, spiritual, and physical development. 

We are licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Public Welfare and we participate in the following profe growth activities:
