Our Philosophy

We believe that community connection encourages cognitive, social, and spiritual development.  Our teachers are trained in a variety of techniques to help children progress through physical interaction and visual, auditory, and sensory exploration.   We create opportunities for emotional growth through social stories that establish empathy, compassion, and the ability to self-advocate.

Assessments are performed individually and as a group throughout the school year to assist in tracking learning development.

Bible stories are presented in a developmentally appropriate manner, encouraging children’s understanding of Biblical truths. 

Learning

Celebration Academy believes every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. Within a thoroughly Christian environment, we will work to fill their hearts with wonder and their minds with learning. All of our classrooms including Infants, toddlers, preschool, and pre-k have monthly themed curricula planned. We use Pinnacle for our curriculum and Ounce Scale for our assessments.

Play

Play is important! We encourage learning through hands on play. Children learn about getting along with others, develop coordination and motor skills, explore their world, and gain social skills.

Parents

Parents are a child’s first teacher. Parents play a key role at Celebration Academy. Our goal is to partner with parents to provide care consistent with your family’s values. We recognize the significance of ongoing parental involvement in a child’s learning.

Atmosphere

Perhaps most important of all is our safe, caring atmosphere. Our teachers love kids. They help children learn the balance between freedom and discipline, energy and rest, learning and playing. They help children understand the love and care that comes from Christ.

Goals For Teaching Children The Bible:

1. To love God with all your heart
2. God had a special plan for my life
3. God loves me all the time
4. God forgives my sins
5. God talks to us through the Bible
6. God wants us to talk to Him
7. God wants us to obey Him
