Our classes are tailored to your child’s age and development. We intentionally plan learning experiences that are child focused and consider the individual child’s needs. We understand that play is the primary way children learn.

Teachers | Mrs. Jenniffer Wohletz and Mrs. Allyson Morris
In Toddlers South, we have students from 18 months to 2 ½ years. We spend our days laughing, learning how to play with others, enjoying art, singing and dancing to silly songs, learning about Jesus’ love for us and how to share that love with others, reading stories, playing on our toddler playground with slides, sand, bubbles and cars. Come and have fun with us!

Guppies
2 ½ to 3 years
Teacher | Miss Madison Garcia
In Guppies, we have students from 2 ½ to 3 years old. Each day, we enjoy making art, dancing, playing with friends, learning about Jesus, and playing outside. Throughout the year we start to learn about the alphabet, develop our social / emotional skills, and create some beautiful artwork. Our teachers support our students’ learning by offering hands-on activities, allowing for play based learning opportunities, and encouraging our students to be creative. We have so much fun each day in our Guppies class and we hope to see your students there!
Little Lemons
2 1/2 – 3 years old
Teacher | Miss Chelsea Garcia
In the Little Lemons, we have students from 2 ½ to 3 years old. Every day, the Little Lemons class learns to work together, play together and incorporate the fruits of the spirit in our dialogue with each other. We talk about self-control, having joy in our hearts and exercising patience with ourselves and classmates. A fun thing we do in our class is have specific jobs every day. The Little Lemons take responsibility and these jobs are serious to them. The best thing about having expectations for the class is how frequently parents will notice these habits at home! Cleaning up after themselves, singing Jesus songs and taking turns with siblings without argument. Our favorite activity is playing in the sandbox outside or running wild in the gym. We have lots of gross motor activity for our kids in the Little Lemons because while we have fun and play, we are learning! Our teachers support each child’s learning by meeting each child individually where they are. Whether your child has been in preschool before or not, they will be encouraged to grow and be their unique selves while setting realistic expectations, so they feel successful and proud of themselves.
Busy Bugs
3-4 years old
Teacher | Mrs. Julie Ropte
In the Busy Bug classroom, we have students from 3 years old to 4 years old. Our favorite activity is to learn. Whether learning our letters, numbers or how to build friendships, we love it all. We also learn about Jesus and how to follow his teachings. A fun thing we do in our class is sing songs and enjoy music. We love to do new and exciting things that our students haven’t don’t before. We are always creating artwork that relates to the topics we are discussing in our classroom. Our teachers support each child’s learning by teaching to their individual needs. We have the flexibility to meet all the needs of the children.
Rockets
4-5 years old
Teacher | Miss Elisha Heck
The Rockets classroom has students ranging from 4 years old to 5 years old. Our class uses creativity, collaboration, and conflict management to inspire students with an opportunity to learn in a safe and nurturing classroom. The various domains of learning are taught throughout the year and include gaining the skills to help them read, write, build their math and science expertise, and Christian learning. We are all active learners and believe in our mission statement: Love Jesus, Love Others and Love Your Learning.
Before and After School Care – B.A.S.E. Camp
2 ½ years to 14 years
Teachers | Mrs. Susan Bredehoeft and Ms. Katie Sivak
Basecamp is for children ranging 2 ½ years old to 12 years and is offered every day from 3:15 PM to 6:00 PM. In Basecamp, students get to interact with a mixed group of children that they might not typically get to spend time with during the day because they are in different classes / age groups. Younger students learn from their older peers and older students get to be role models and many enjoy helping their younger friends – especially older siblings! We typically have an art activity or themed books for children to choose from that rotate throughout the year as well as our centers. Dramatic play and the science area are favorites! We serve snacks and have at least thirty minutes of gross motor playtime every day. We cannot wait to see you children there!
