Vision:
We provide a nurturing environment where children grow in love and wisdom through faith and character education. We support their creative and independent thinking, helping them discover their God-given talents and develop into leaders who bring to the world.
Mission:
As an outreach program and a licensed school from GA DEKAL Bright from the Start, we strive to instill Christ-centered principles by providing children opportunities to promote growth cognitively, emotionally, socially, kinesthetically, and spiritually. We help strengthen their ability to establish healthy and meaningful relationships with children of their own age and to find joy and satisfaction in creative work.
