Statement of Purpose
Our mission is to make disciples of Jesus Christ by reaching out to those who do not know Him and by strengthening those who do, that they might live lives of courageous witness to Christ 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
Redeemer Lutheran Early Childhood Center offers a Christian environment that prepares itself to give your child a secure, moral basis on which to begin their education. Our teachers will encourage your child to explore their God given talents and open up endless opportunities for learning. A majority of our activities are interactive and hands on. We work to praise the process while encouraging their progress. We will work to build confidence and self esteem, so your child will enjoy learning for years to come.
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.
