OUR PROGRAMS

CONNECT accepts children from 6 weeks old through pre-K. All curriculum and activities are appropriately planned for every age and are meant to foster healthy development physically, socially, spiritually, and cognitively. We are privileged to help your child build not only an academic foundation, but also a spiritual foundation that will impact them beyond this lifetime!

EVERY STAGE MATTERS

  • INFANTS

    In a calming, safe environment, our infant program introduces key physical and social skills to help your baby make connections with the world around them.

  • TODDLERS

    Our toddler program focuses on building key skills and encourages independence and interaction through fun learning experiences.

  • EARLY PRESCHOOL

    Our early preschool program introduces a more structured environment by incorporating hands-on learning experiences and activities to continue establishing key mental, social, and motor skills.

  • PRESCHOOL

    In a fun, structured learning environment, our preschool program incorporates more advanced educational opportunities to prepare your child for reading and math. Our teachers guide your children through purposeful play where your child won’t even realize they are learning!

  • K4

    As your child looks to kindergarten and beyond, our K4 program begins to develop your child’s sense of wonder in all of God’s creation through arts, science, and interactive learning. Your child will be prepared to enter school with a love for Jesus and a sound academic foundation.
