Child
Care Programs
are integral ministries of Manoa Valley
Church.
As
God seeks to provide for our needs, so we seek to do the same for each
child in our midst. Our goal is to provide a loving environment where a
child's physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual
development are nurtured. We share the love of Christ through Christian
caring, fellowship and worship.
In
addition,
Manoa Valley Church offers opportunities to the families of the
children in our programs by providing parenting workshops, inviting
families to various church functions and supporting families in crisis.
Our Pre-School
is licensed for 40 children, ages three and four years old.
The Pre-School provides the foundation for the children to reach their
potentials as contributing members of society. The school provides
safe, healthy, nurturing and responsive environment where children grow
to love God, others and themselves. We use child centered approaches to
our educational program. Educational
Philosophy
We
believe that a preschool should:
1.
Provide a
quality, well-rounded education that strives
to meet needs - spiritual, physical, social, and emotional - of the
whole child.
2. Furnish activities which are appropriate to the developmental levels
and interests of the students.
3. Promote active, exploratory learning, offering the children numerous
first-hand experiences.
4. Encourage the children to express themselves creatively.
5. Help the children become more independent, make choices and take
responsibility for themselves.
6. Foster cooperation and concern for others.
7. Offer a balance of activities - fine motor and gross motor, indoor
and outdoor, individual and group, active and quiet, teacher directed
and child initiated.
8. Foster open communication between home and school.

Sharing
the
Christian Faith is an important
part of all three programs. We are
here to offer the good news of God's love in the context of a caring
community -- the staff and the church. The children attend Chapel
regularly with the Pastor and examples of Christian teachings and
values are demonstrated by the staff.
