1. Is the church planning to change from an education-based program to one that is completely Christian in nature--more babysitting service rather than quality structured care? Has the church ever proposed moving to a faith based system? If so, is this different from the current philosophy and how so? Will the philosophy continue to be educational in nature, preparing and developing our children for school?
The Philosophy of the preschool remains the same. We use Creative Curriculum and have no intentions of changing this. Chapel Extensions are currently incorporated in the lesson plans to further extend students' biblical knowledge from the chapel lesson.
