The Gathering Place

The Gathering Place recognizes the foundational importance (home school and church) of the early preschool years in shaping and molding the heart mind and soul of a child. Our aim is to inspire each child with a passion for learning and build positive foundational memories while providing opportunities that encourage each child to grow to their fullest potential.
Our Christian early educational environment is based on foundational biblical truths which emphasize the importance of developing Christian character and values such as loving God themselves and others. Our developmentally appropriate curriculum is taught caught and seen throughout the day in a dynamic safe and nurturing interactive environment. Our focus is not to just talk about Gods love but for the children and families we serve to experience Gods love in tangible ways.
Our teachers are more then facilitators of learning. They touch the childrens hearts as well as their minds. They serve as loving guides and models to the children in the wonderful process of learning through relationship building. They strive to prepare the children with the skills abilities and motivation that will help them to understand appreciate and live a Christian life in this world in which God has placed them.
Our teachers set the tone for the learning process by providing structured and unstructured activities indoor and outdoor events daily routines and timely teachable moments. They provide an environment that is safe healthy inviting and well maintained while balancing rest and activity. Structured activities such as art projects over time center time for curriculum subjects small group activities and lunch include the routines that provide stability and familiarity necessary for young children as well as learning activities that connect to them to developmentally appropriate learning goals.
