How we accomplish Our Mission
1. Loving our keiki

- Sterilize nursery toys after use
- Sanitize floors after class
- Are mindful of children's allergy needs
We facilitate an environment where keiki are accepted and encouraged.
We strive to have a healthy ratio of adults to children in classrooms so teachers can develop one-on-one relationships with the kids.
We speak their language.
We share about Jesus in a way that our kids can understand. This means using a modern, Bible-based curriculum, audio/video technology, dynamic activities, and a fun rewards system.
We make sure they have fun!
We want to be marked by the joy of the Lord and believe that where kids are laughing, they our learning.
