Sonflowers (10 Months - 2 Years Old)


The children loved in this classroom are ages ten months through the age of two years old. We have 2 teachers on staff with no more than 10 children on a daily basis. Our expectation for the children and parents in this classroom, is to feel happy, secure and loved, as this is many times the first place that a child is left with a non family member.
The children will have music time and snack time mid morning, followed by circle time before heading outside, weather permitting.
The Sonflowers class is available five mornings a week, based on availability.
We strive to provide a warm, caring and learning enriched atmosphere for our children. Those who attend The Learning Center benefit from a well prepared staff who strive to promote a positive, pleasant learning environment for each child. The children learn to love God, themselves and others, as their purpose and importance in God’s world is enhanced.

Why Provide Weekday Programs for Children and Their Families?

The church believes that each child is a child of God and should have every opportunity to develop physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually to the fullest potential.
The church is called to ministry, caring for children, showing concern for families, and providing support and nurture for its own congregation and for the surrounding community.
Children and parents in the congregation and in the community need these programs and need support for their lives.
A weekday program is one way for the church to live out the message of God's love expressed through Jesus Christ.
The church has the facilities needed for weekday programs and wants to be a good steward of the space.
Members of the congregation see this weekday ministry as a way to live out the gospel in the community.
