Early Childhood Education
Our Mission
Our vision of A Child’s Haven Preschool is a Christian environment where the uniqueness of all children is celebrated. Every child is encouraged to explore, to learn, and to grow to his or her potential. The mission of our preschool is to provide an educational environment in which the Christian faith will be reflected. We will provide early childhood education for children which are developmentally appropriate, intellectually stimulating, and spiritually nurturing in a safe, loving preschool environment.
Our Philosophy
Our program philosophy is based on the premise that children learn about the world around them through play (active involvement with other children, adults, and materials). Learning takes place as young children touch, manipulate, and experiment with things and interact with people. The emphasis is on the experiences of the children rather than the results of those experiences. For examples, painting is more important than what has been painted; building with blocks is more important than what is built. Days are filled with planned and spontaneous moments of learning. There’s time for active outdoor play, imaginative games, independent discovery and group time experiences..
