Our Philosophy of Education
We believe God's love & truth should shape all we do.
We believe the Bible is the Word of God, and this shapes the way we teach, care for and interact with children. In 1 John 4:8, we are told that "God is love." We are dedicated to creating a learning environment where each child feels valued, safe, and loved. Our educational approach combines positive reinforcement with clear expectations and boundaries, providing a secure environment that allows children to thrive through play, exploration and interaction. Daily Bible times reinforce that God’s love and forgiveness are foundational to our lives and our classroom community fosters kindness, respect, and care for others.
We believe children learn best through hands-on activities.
Through engaging activities, we guide children in developing strong social skills, emotional resilience, and intellectual curiosity. Each week a new, exciting theme guides learning in games, crafts, stories, motor activities and hands-on experiences. Learning stations around the classroom provide fun opportunities for exploration, learning, creativity and play while structured times like reading, snack and morning meeting help develop listening skills and turn-taking. Throughout each day, our philosophy and curriculum supports growth in five key areas: social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual.​​
Social Growth
Emotional Growth
Both fine and gross motor skills are emphasized through activities such as writing, drawing, and assembling puzzles, along with running, jumping, and playing ball. These activities promote coordination, stamina, and strength, supporting children’s overall health and physical abilities.
Physical Growth
Intellectual Growth
Our curriculum introduces foundational academic concepts, including early math, science, reading readiness, and writing. Through activities like counting, shape recognition, storytelling, and letter exploration, children develop skills in literacy and numeracy, preparing them for future academic success. Creative arts and music further enrich intellectual growth, sparking curiosity and imagination.
At LEAP, we teach that each child is uniquely loved and created by God, integrating Bible stories and monthly verses to share His Truth. Through simple, engaging lessons, children learn about their value and connection to God, building a foundation of faith and kindness.
Spiritual Growth
Through interactive play and group activities, children learn to respect others and express likes, dislikes and needs. They practice essential skills like turn-taking, following classroom rules, and caring for toys and materials. These activities encourage kindness, independence, and teamwork in a warm, supportive environment.
We nurture emotional growth by encouraging children to verbally express feelings, communicate ideas, and develop positive self-concepts around learning. Activities are designed to help children grow in confidence and empathy, preparing them to navigate their emotions and interactions thoughtfully.
