Mission Statement of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church We are a family of believers united to know Christ and to make Him known. The Center’s Early Learning Program is one that strives to provide a safe, nurturing environment where developmentally appropriate practice and curriculum are the basis of learning, and the love of Jesus Christ is experienced in many ways. Parents and teachers work together to be the best they can be in order to enhance the child’s experience and appreciation of themselves and the world. The Center strives to provide children with a stimulating, developmentally appropriate environment that will provide them with experiences that will aid in achieving their full potential as God’s children. We believe each child is a person of value and should have every opportunity to develop physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in a happy, secure, Christ-centered environment.

The curriculum of our Center is flexible, child-centered and caring. As a Christian-based program, we will vividly present God’s word through an age-appropriate, refreshing perspective in everyday themes such as Community Helpers, Nutrition, etc., and Christian themes such as Heroes of the Bible, Prayer, Forgiveness, etc. Each theme will meet the spiritual, physical, emotional, cognitive and social needs of each child, providing them with the foundation for future success in all aspects of life. Your child will find a safe, nurturing, stimulating environment in the classroom. Each day the curriculum will provide him/her with activities and experiences that foster: Creative Expression — art, music, dramatic play Cognitive Development — language-math-science concepts Social and Emotional Growth — sharing, listening, enhancing self-esteem Motor Skills — developing large and small muscle skills Self-help and Conceptual Skills — hygiene, curiosity, memory Computers — 3, 4, 5 year old rooms and before and after school room We believe that play is a child’s work. Much of our educational program is presented through play activities that engage children through active participation. Please dress your child in simple, sturdy clothes so he/she can participate freely in all activities. Getting dirty is acceptable and to be expected. Please refer to the section Clothing/Personal Articles for more information. It is through play and daily experiences that children begin to make sense of the world around them. That is why in addition to our regular program we will extend our curriculum through field trips and participation in community events.
