About

Philosophy

Jesus said in the gospel of Mark: “Let the children come to me…for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these” (16:12). At St. Paul’s Preschool, children learn that they are treasured by God. Helping children to understand that they are chosen, forgiven, and loved by God – through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ – is our primary task.

We also strive to create a learning environment that is appropriate and stimulating for young children. Ongoing research strongly suggests a “hands-on” approach is immediately beneficial to children and it also can contribute to a life-long love of learning. Through guided play, social skills grow and a healthy self-concept can be fostered, especially in a setting that is uniquely Christian.

By combining the best educational methods with a Biblical worldview, we believe we can offer young children an exceptional foundation for their lives as students and individuals.
