Philosophy
At Bethlehem we believe that Christianity should be at the basis of all education. We recognize that children have spiritual, emotional and physical needs.
We also know that God creates each of His kids uniquely. This is why we provide opportunities for individual growth in a positive, creative and loving environment.
Goals And Purpose
A Christian home gives children their first Christ-centered instruction and training. We believe our school needs to support parents by sharing in this responsibility.
Bethlehem Lutheran Preschool and Day Care can best accomplish this by providing. . .
| • Opportunities for Christian learning of Jesus as Lord and Savior through formal classes, chapel, and informal living-learning environment. | | • Opportunities and activities to help children have a healthy self-image which includes accepting themselves, their limitations and their talents as God has given them. | | • Experiences and activities which will fulfill the child’s basic individual needs (spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual and social). | | • Guidance as the child becomes less self-centered and starts taking part in small group and large group activities. | | • Experiences and stimulating the natural curiosity of a child to broaden his/her aptitude for future schoolwork. |
