Our Philosophy
At Christ Fellowship Academy, we hold a very dear responsibility to instill the love of learning in our students. Our Lil’Eagles Preschool Program provides a safe, healthy and engaging environment that fosters growth in your child’s development. Our team plans and implements a faith based curriculum that targets each preschooler’s physical, cognitive, social-emotional and spiritual growth.
We provide a structured environment that consists of hands-on learning paired with academics. We emphasize a Center-based, hands-on approach to learning that integrates motor skills, habits, listening, language, early literacy, scientific investigation and cultural lessons. Our early childhood educators also provide instructions that is developmentally appropriate and differentiated to meet the needs of all their students.
The environment and social interaction is key to your child’s cognitive development. Therefore, our preschool exhibits a fun, social environment where young children are given endless opportunities to engage in meaningful experiences. Above all, Christ Fellowship’s Lil’Eagles Preschool Program is a Christ loving environment that exists to surround your child with the love of God that overflows around us.
