“When I approach
a child, he/she inspires in me two sentiments; tenderness for what he/she

“The purpose of life is to
listen –to yourself, to your neighbor, to your world and to God….and,
when the time comes, respond in as helpful a way as you can find….from
within and without.” Fred Rogers
Sharing God’s Love
Children’s spiritual development
is fostered through the unconditional love and support they receive
from our staff, through prayer, songs, stories and
recognition of creation and God’s blessings.
Children and families attend Chapel times which include short
stories, songs and prayer. Our preschool offers
opportunities for children and families
to participate in mission throughout the year by reaching beyond our
preschool community to help fill the need of others.
A young child’s
joy in discovery, learning,
and finding something out for
the first time is,
in fact, the ultimate celebration!”
Francis Wardle
