At CGCA, your child will learn in a caring, Christ-centered environment. We understand that young children learn best through play, so we offer many opportunities for them to explore, create and discover using a center-based approach which includes dramatic play, art, music, building, sensory and fine motor skills, reading and more.

Our curriculum and instruction are informed by these principles:

  1. Godly values are fundamental to children’s social, emotional, and spiritual development.

  2. A child must be able and willing to consistently follow basic instructions designed to keep themselves and others safe before they can succeed in school. These include following such basic directions as “come,” “sit,” “go,” “no,” and “stay.” Much of what we do at CGCA involves teaching, demonstrating, rehearsing, and reinforcing basic behavioral expectations to build this essential foundation for learning.

  3. Because the experience of doing an activity is of greater educational benefit than the quality of the product produced by young children, we focus more on the process than the product.

  4. Children develop independence and learn responsibility by doing things for themselves.

  5. By expressing creativity, children build self-awareness and self-esteem.

Our primary areas of instruction include Bible, social and emotional skills, primary elementary grade readiness, language arts, math, and science.
