Philosophy

It is the goal of Celebrations to give your child the opportunity to experience high quality, Christian educational care. Each child is treated with respect and love, and is offered a positive learning environment. Developmentally appropriate activities will provide opportunity for growth in cognitive, language, small and large motor, social, emotional, and self-help skills. Children attend Bible time that is geared toward teaching basic Bible truths. Your questions, comments, and input are always welcome.
