Christian Learning Environment for 2 to 5 Year Olds
The Children's Center is an outreach ministry of Mount Hope United Methodist Church. Founded in 1989, the Center's philosophy is to provide a Christian learning environment for young children in the community. The Center provides early childhood learning experiences for children from age two through five. The Center's obejective is to offer a safe Christian environment staffed by qualified professional educators. We aim to nurture the children's development through socializing experiences and learning through play.
Our early childhood curriculum is developmentally appropriate, providing for all areas of a child's development: physical, emotional, social and intellectual, through integrated learning, allowing each child to progress at their own pace.
Using our curriculum we emphasize learning as an interactive and creative process. The teachers prepare the environment for the children to learn through active exploration and interaction with adults, other children and materials. A variety of activities and materials are available to include opportunities for:
|
arts and crafts
block building
manipulatives
water play
books
writing
science
|
food experiences
dramatic play
music and movement
songs
outdoor play
and many more!
