Kinder & Pre-K
Sacred footsteps program
We are a Youth Program for children Ages 3-5 years old focused on bringing strong spiritual and academic formation in an incredible environment for them to mature and blossom! We are focused on introducing children into a living relationship with Jesus though hearing and responding to God’s Word in our Chapel time.
The school day is then filled with center-time, songs, movement, sounds/letters, salvation history (covered in entirety every year!) bible-stories, snack, Recess, math, science, and crafts around the liturgical season! We also have a full virtues program where the children and their families are involved together!
