We are certified and licensed by the State of Ohio as a Pre-School as verified by License displayed in room. Our staff consists of educated and dedicated teachers with experience, and who belong to the National Association for Education of Young Children. The Director has a degree in Early Childhood Education.

OUR PROGRAM:
Our curriculum is based upon Christian principles with strong emphasis given to the attitudes of love, sharing, and sensitivity to the needs of others. The lesson plans are designed to provide the students with the knowledge needed to prepare them for a good start in Kindergarten. In addition, the daily routine includes prayers, Christian songs, or Bible stories in order to share with the students the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Periodically the Pastor of Good Hope Lutheran Church visits with the children for biblical presentations and classroom activities.

A daily planned schedule of activities geared to each age level. We strive to give individual attention to each child, and periodically work with small groups. Our concern is with the total development of each child Intellectually, Socially, Physically, Emotionally, Spiritually, and his independence. Consultation with teachers and copies of the law and rules governing the school are available upon request. Our aim also is to work in co-operation with the kindergartens.
