Vision

Our mission is to raise up a generation of Kingdom-minded leaders, rooted in Christ, filled with wisdom, strong in faith, and ready to serve others and impact the world through truth, love, character, purpose, boldness, and grace.

Philosophy

We believe every child is created in God’s image, endowed with purpose, and capable of growth through guided independence. Our Montessori philosophy blends spiritual formation with educational excellence to nurture the whole child—mind, body, and spirit.

They're great with my children and the school itself is very clean. The staff is very friendly, helpful and patient. My kids love it there and the staff aren't picked by just skills but also the love they have for the kids. So if u want teachers and caregivers that love they're job more than they're paycheck then this is the place to take your kids.
