Introduction
The Growing Place (TGP) is a part of the Christian
education Programs of First United Methodist Church of Coral Gables and
welcomes children from all faiths and cultures. We also invite families to
participate in the worship services and special programs of the church.
Our intent is to guide the children of our school to
learn through discovery. We provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum
for all age groups using Pinnacle Faith Based Program. We believe than when
children are allowed to approximate, infer, synthesize, and analyze,
information while manipulating objects, learning becomes meaningful. Learning
should be a pleasant experience that not only motivates the child, but instills
confidence, self- reliance, and independence.
Our Christian educators will provide opportunities for
your child to grow socially, emotionally, cognitively, physically, and
spiritually in a loving, nurturing, stimulating, non-stereotypical anti-bias
environment.
Goals
- To introduce children to
Jesus and His love.
- To provide, within a
Christian context, the highest quality of early childhood education.
- To encourage children to
develop into individuals who can sustain themselves, feel good about
themselves, and grow into their full potential as a child of God.
- To provide a safe and secure
environment.
- To contribute to the
Christian nurturing of the family and,
- To be a church - community
link.
