PURPOSE

The weekday program is a ministry of First Baptist Church. We believe that the Bible clearly teaches the priority of family ministry. It is out of that belief that our fellowship is committed to this purpose. Our weekday program seeks to provide a stumulating and loving Christian environment to meet each child's needs and abilities. We work to provide grouwth in all areas of the child's development: physical, mental, social, emotional and spiritual.

PHILOSOPHY

The cirriculum of the Children's Learning Center involves the total of all that a child experiences from the time he or she arrives until the time he or she leaves. Each day brings opportunities to play, investigate, and to express ideas. Our basic philosophy includes:

- We provide the child with opportunities to make appropriate choices and to express himself or herself.
- We encourage the child to do what he or she can for themselves in order to develop a positive self-concept and accept responsibility.
-We use a positive approach and love in our guidance while setting consistent boundaries.
- We week to build the child's faith by developing an awareness of God and God's love for us through our teaching and example.
- We provide an educational environment where each child is encouraged to actively participate in the learning process.
