Mission Statement

"Offering quality Christian education and care for everyone who enters our center by providing a safe, enriching environment in which children can thrive."

Our Purpose

PeaceKids Learning Center and Preschool  exists to provide clean, safe and loving care to infants, toddlers, preschoolers and their families, regardless of income or socio-economic status. Realizing that choosing a quality childcare facility is an important and difficult decision, we strive to provide financial, spiritual and emotional support for families.

Preschool

                                       

Fireflies: We maintain a ratio of 5 children to 1 teacher under normal operating circumstances. We have 2 full-time caregivers for this classroom. The children in this classroom build on the skills they learned in the Dragonfly’s class. They have a daily circle time, participate in art and sensory activities, play outdoors, and experience free play in centers. They develop their social skills by eating as a group, walking outdoors as a group, learning to sit with their friends during circle time as well as learning to use words to express their feelings as opposed to actions. A planned program of activities is provided for our learning centers which enhance independent and group learning of various concepts and skills. This classroom focuses on mastering recognition of the alphabet, numbers, shapes, and colors. They also work on letter sounds, counting individual objects and picking out colors. The Firefly’s work on various fine motor skills such as cutting straight lines, using a pencil to write with, and lacing small beads. This classroom attends chapel every week in the church’s sanctuary to help introduce concepts of Christianity and work toward memorizing a monthly memory verse.
