During the formative years of childrens lives, it is important to provide them with an environment that encourages learning and self-discipline.
The environment should support a childs growth toward physical strength, emotional health, intellectual curiosity, and awareness of spirituality.
Early childhood is a time when children grow as whole persons, unique and individual.
Children should be encouraged to discover themselves, their skills and talents, their rights and limits in a Christian environment.
In an atmosphere of understanding, children become independent and confident.
Children grow in happy and trustful relations with others and develop a sense of responsibility.
The purpose of CPCFCCC is to facilitate a childs:
- Development to the best of his/her individual abilities;
- Growth in understanding and appreciation of God;
- Growth in appreciation of themselves as members of the Christian community.
The center seeks to provide opportunities for each child to:
- Play and work in a small group with peers;
- Express feelings, make decisions, and follow his/her interests;
- Develop reasoning and thinking skills by interacting with a wide range of materials and a variety of people;
- Develop the language skills of listening, speaking, writing and reading, which build and strengthen a strong foundation for school learning;
- Develop an age-appropriate sense of wonder for the natural world;
- Plan and carry out activities involving creative materials, drama, music, and indoor and outdoor play equipment;
- Experiment with continually developing physical skills;
- Distinguish between right and wrong through meaningful experiences;
- Respect the rights of others.
