Beginning Steps Ministry of BFBC

We are committed to providing a safe and Christ-centered age-appropriate early learning environment that allows children to engage in meaningful play and real work experiences. Beginning Steps Ministrys educational philosophy is based on early childhood research and identified best practices for young children. We base our approaches to learning on the following:

• Curriculum supports the development of the whole child physical social emotional intellectual and spiritual.
• Children are individuals who learn at their own pace and this learning is best supported when the child is an active participant is allowed to investigate and provided opportunities to engage in real work.
• Optimal learning occurs in the context of safety. Creating a connected learning community establishes the sense of safety in the classroom.
• Learning environments should provide children with opportunities to explore discover create and interact with others and the environment. Learning environments should also provide opportunities for communication developing self-esteem and self-control.
• Children should be provided unconditional love and be accepted respected and comforted regardless of behavior.
• Family involvement in the childs early learning experiences maximizes the childs growth and development potential.
