Statement of Purpose
Our mission is sharing faith and knowledge of God that all might know Jesus Christ and live lives of courageous witness in both word and deed.
To that end the members of Redeemer Lutheran Church believe the Early Childhood Center to be essential in carrying out God’s command regarding the Christian training of children. Therefore, consistent with the statement of purpose of Redeemer Lutheran Church, the Early Childhood Center provides Redeemer Lutheran Church opportunity to “…go and make disciples of all nations…and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you…” (Matthew 28:18-20).
Accordingly, the purpose of the Redeemer Lutheran Early Childhood Center shall be:
- To help children to discover and develop their God given talents and abilities;
- To maintain high standards of preschool education integrated with and related to the teaching of God’s Word for the development of the whole child;
- To provide experiences and activities which will fulfill the child’s basic needs;
- To provide nurturing guidance that allows the child to experience positive interaction while taking part in small group and large group activities; and
- To provide interests and experiences which broaden the child’s aptitude for future schoolwork.

Philosophy
The philosophy of Redeemer Lutheran Early Childhood Center, inspired by God’s
Guidance from Proverbs 22:6 shall be to partner with parents so together the children may be nurtured spiritually, mentally, physically, socially and emotionally, through
Interactive play and in developmentally appropriate ways.
Redeemer Lutheran Early Childhood Center uses the following curriculum:
- Bible Story and Chapel
- Reading
- Writing
- Math
- Fine and Large Motor Skills
- Music and Movement
- Free Play
- Arts and Crafts
- Science, Health and History
Although the staff believes these areas are important, a positive self-image, the ability to play socially, listen and follow directions, speak to others, cooperate, share and respect others are equally important.
