Children are encouraged to help with planning, and they work together with the teachers to create a positive learning environment. Christian concepts are incorporated throughout the day in devotions, music and prayers. Scheduling and curriculum allow children to learn through active involvement in various learning experiences with each other. Children are allowed to work individually or in small informal groups much of the time. They are allowed more freedom to work independently under the supervision of adults. Teachers assign tasks to teach the children responsibility for themselves and others. Exploration of science and math concepts is built into planning through cooking, gardening, experiments and sensory activities. Team activities with cooperation, not competition, are encouraged. Children continue to learn about the world and the community they live in through field trips, service projects, and activities that introduce them to other cultures.
