Spring Is in the Air
Dear Parents and Guardians,
The end of the year is approaching fast, but there are several items we need to complete before we can finish the year. Spring is in the air. This is a hectic but enjoyable time, too. You see children growing spiritually, academically, emotionally, and physically.
Research shows that children develop more in the spring and summer than in the fall and winter. In addition, children produce more growth hormones during the first hours of sleep than during the day. Therefore, regular and sufficient sleep is essential. Please make sure your children are going to bed early and getting enough hours of sleep.
With the end of the year on the horizon, I know how busy you are and all the sacrifices you make for the children. Thank you for everything you do at home to make the school-home partnership work. Please know you are all in my prayers every day.
Sincerely in Christ,
Elizabeth Joseph, Principal

Start Early with Our Year-Round Preschool & Kinder Prep
1-12 Teacher/Student Ratio & Flexible Schedules for Working Parents
Through a combination of play-based, sensory, hands-on opportunities and structured activities we concentrate on spiritual, social, emotional, physical and cognitive growth. Each of the classes focus on the age-appropriate developmental needs of the children in our care. That focus helps us create a stimulating program that provides hands-on learning centers, individualized attention and encourage each child’s individual growth.
