Our Philosophy
We believe that children are an amazing part of
God's creation, and should be given every
opportunity to develop to their fullest the
various gifts God has given them. Each
child should consider his or her own unique
significance in God's world, and have a positive
mental attitude toward himself/herself and
others. Maple Tree is committed to the
wondrous task of introducing children to God's
world and cooperating with parents in the
awesome process of growth and discovery.

Maple Tree is a
Christian Preschool
We include Bible stories, prayer, and
Christian songs in our lesson planning,
and focus upon Christian values in our
interaction with the children. Our
celebrations of Christmas and Easter
totally center on God's Word: Why Jesus
came into this world, and what his death
and resurrection mean for Christians.
We believe that Jesus Christ has called
us to this special ministry to children
and their families. We are
grateful for this opportunity, and we
praise God for allowing us this
privilege!

Curriculum
Planned units of study form the basis of
our core curriculum. Units are
taught not only to increase knowledge,
but also to demonstrate God's power and
diversity in creation. Studies of
the ocean, birds, mammals, rainforests,
and insects are some units which are
especially enjoyed by students.Our
curriculum is expanded through the use
of various math manipulative and
activity appropriate worksheets.
Art projects, show-and-tell, talking and
listening, story time, exercises, music,
and fingerplays complete our education
focus. Each activity is carefully
planned with specific goals in mind
(i.e. verbal expression, critical
thinking, fine motor coordination, large
muscle coordination, etc.)
