About Us
Welcome!
Agape programs provide the necessary education, developmental activities, and opportunities for each child to reach their full potential physically, socially, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually.
We accept and value the uniqueness of every child.
Our Philosophy
-
Sees each child as a unique individual with abilities which are different from other children
-
At any given time, each child is developing physically, emotionally, intellectually, socially and creatively. All of these are related to and dependent upon one another and are of equal importance in the child’s development
-
The dignity and worth of each child is respected and enhanced
-
A child whose needs have been adequately met is more likely to develop into a healthy, responsible and secure person
-
All adults in a child’s world should provide opportunities for children to develop abilities to their fullest potential
-
A child has a natural curiosity that, in an appropriate environment, results in an eagerness to learn. Providing opportunities that stimulate this curiosity enhances their development
-
Family, Early Childhood Educators and community are all important in the planning and implementation of the child’s Early Childhood program
-
Values staff that have training in Early Childhood with ongoing professional development
-
Parents or guardians participation in their child’s program is encouraged
-
Provides opportunities to hear bible stories, Sunday School songs and sing a prayer before lunch
