As a ministry of the Del Rey Church, Del Rey Christian Children's Center exists to:

* Equip each child with skills that are appropriate for their age group, including but not limited to: listening, self-control, social ability and creative self-expression.
* Encourage the development of the whole child in ways that enable children to be more mature persons and to feel secure in the love of God and his Son Jesus Christ.
* Teach Christian Truths related to the experience and the level of development of each child.
* Foster self-confidence, concern for others, co-operation in work and play, a spirit of sharing, and living a life that is pleasing to God.
* Maintain an atmosphere of Christian love where a child's God-given capabilities may be developed to the utmost.

Our curriculum is rooted in our Philosophy of Christian Education. In addition to our Christian heritage, we approach our curriculum with a modified Developmental Philosophy of Early Childhood Education. Essentially, this means that we believe in learning through play, and accordingly, play is a HUGE part of the day.

DRCCC offers a full range of programs for your child including age-specific curriculums for Infants, Toddlers, Two- and Three-Year-Olds, and Pre-Kindergarten children. All classes are grouped by age and are designed to be developmentally stimulating for all children.

Our child-centered curriculum combines teacher-guided activities with ample time for free choice, socialization, and play. We meet each child at his or her developmental level and strive to provide a stimulating, creative, and discovery-oriented environment where learning is achieved through play. We emphasize the whole child and value each child's unique traits.

On a daily basis your child will experience language arts, literature, early math concepts, creative art projects, dramatic play, as well as gross and fine motor activities. Please refer to the Daily Schedule to see a sample day at our school. This schedule will give you an idea of the content of our program and a general sequence of events.

Nursery for 6 weeks - 2 yr; Preschool for 2-4 yr olds; Pre-Kindergarten for 4-5 yr olds. Motor skills, self expression, social interaction, training and independence, cognitive development, sensory development, responsibility, self control, patience and helping others play an important role in our curriculum.
