Philosophy
Children at Oak Grove
UMC Christian School are given daily opportunities to use age-appropriate
materials and resources to create, build, imagine, and explore. Our philosophy
focuses on developing positive self-esteem and independence. Children are
encouraged to try new ideas and learn from their mistakes. They learn to work
together cooperatively side by side.
We believe that
children learn best by doing. Our experienced and well-trained teachers provide
the opportunity and environment for this learning. Our low child-teacher ratios
make interactions between children and caregivers individualized and
meaningful. Oak Grove Christian School is a place where children and adults are
loved and valued as unique individuals. You can see it in our smiles!
