Philosophy:

We believe, at Great Expectations Child Care Center, the most important aspect of any education is to prepare a child to be ready for eternity by having an intimate, personal relations with Jesus Christ.

We also believe that self-esteem is the critical component to optimal growth in young children. Children at Great Expectations Christian Learning Institute are given the opportunity to explore, experiment, and create in a warm, nurturing Christian environment that developmentally meets the needs of the 'whole' child.

We recognize the uniqueness of each child and will encourage children to develop their capabilities and interest at their own pace and according to their individual needs.

Goals:

1) Promote spiritual development by helping
students see their uniqueness and learn to live in responsive obedience to God.

2) To encourage social development by providing opportunities for sharing, making friends, solving problems, and recognizing and accepting others.

3) To foster emotional development through
expressions of thoughts and feelings taking
responsibility for one's own actions and exercising appropriate independence.

4) To enhance the physical development of large
and fine motor skills through the use of manipulative
toys, games, and activities.

5) To facilitate intellectual development by widening
the child's language and creative experience in
order to increase knowledge, basic concepts,
and skills.
