Children need an early childhood program that will come alongside the parent to encourage the child to grow and develop to their fullest potential. Each stage of growth and development is important. At the ark we strive to do just that by providing each child with love, acceptance, and understanding all within a safe Christian environment.

In order to provide your children with these elements, our staff, facility and curriculum meet exceptional professional standards. Our program was designed with the guidelines outlined by the NAEYC (The National Education for the Education of Young Children). Our staff is trained both on -site and off-site each year by attending a minimum of fifteen clock hours in early childhood training. Our low ratios average 6 to 1 in each classroom, which allows for more individualized love, attention, learning, and overall safety for your child. Equipment and instructional materials are chosen for developmental and safety purposes. Each class's daily schedule is a well-planned thought out schedule that best fits the needs of the individual classrooms. A typical day for every classroom will consist of the following components: opening activities, exploration time, large group time, small group time, circle time, outside play, center time, snack time, lunch time, chapel time (Tuesday and Wednesday), physical education - music - Spanish (two of these each day), and closure activities.

We know research indicates that the early years are an optimal time where the foundation for learning is established. Because of this, we strive at the ark to provide an enriched, fun, hands-on curriculum that is developmentally appropriate that will build a “love of learning” foundation within your child.
