We are a developmental preschool and have specifically designed our curriculum to meet the needs of the "whole child" socially, emotionally, cognitively, physically, and certainly spiritually. The ELCA recently presented the preschool with a certificate commemorating this milestone with congratulations to its loyal staff for the efforts on behalf of all of the children and families. May they be blessed in their ministry. "La Casa de Cristo Christian Preschool does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin and accords the same rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally made available to all students." Note: The above statement was in an ad that ran in the Business Gazette from April 3 through April 10, 2008.

Philosophy

It is the philosophy and firm belief of La Casa de Cristo Christian Preschool that each child is a gift from God and shall be made to feel secure in God's abiding love and care.

Each child is a unique person with special needs and abilities. It is our overall goal to encourage the growth of the "whole child" through social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and spiritual development.  A daily schedule which includes a balance of teacher-directed and child-directed activities serves to reinforce, enrich and challenge in an environment where each child is respected as an individual.

La Casa de Cristo Christian Preschool admits students of every race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.  It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarships, program and athletic and other school-administered programs.
