Children's Day Out (CDO): 9:05 am- 2:35 pm
For children who are one, two, and three years old by September 1st.
Classes offered twice a week on either Monday/ Wednesday or Tuesday/ Thursday
CDO classes are times of rich, developmentally appropriate play. Children will engage in dramatic play, sensory activities, art, stories, Bible Time, music, and outdoor play in a nurturing environment that allows children to thrive. Teachers will lovingly guide children as they work on their social and emotional development; learning to separate from parents, beginning to empathize with others, making transitions, and practicing self-control. Children will eat lunch in the classrooms and nap in the afternoon.
Children will...
-
develop large motor skills through activities such as jumping, dancing, and playing on the playground.
-
develop fine motor skills by playing with playdoh, puzzles, painting, and drawing.
-
develop language skills through singing, dramatic play, and listening to stories.
-
hear the word of God through weekly Bible Time, memory verses, prayers, and through the modeling of our teachers.
-
experience the joy and wonder of the natural world on our beautiful outdoor playground.

Early Childhood Program
Low Student-Teacher Ratios
We keep our student/teacher ratios low so that each child can receive the attention and nurture that he/she needs during these critical early childhood years.
Quality Teachers
We hire quality teachers who have many years of experience in early childhood and who genuinely love children.
Play-Based Education
We teach children through the use of play and hands-on experiences, as research continues to prove that this is how children learn. We also recognize that our children will be entering a world where academic expectations are high. Thus, we are continually working to offer our children the highest quality of curriculum available.
Individualized Learning
We celebrate the differences in children and teach to their individual learning styles as we believe that we are each uniquely created by God for a special purpose.
We are a Christian school and we want children to experience the love of God and to learn His Word. We incorporate Bible stories, songs and activities that teach Biblical truths into our day. And our teachers strive to create an environment in which each child can experience God’s amazing love while they are at ECP.
