We believe each preschooler is a unique creation of God. Each child progresses through the stages of mental, physical, moral/spiritual, social and emotional development in Jesus’ same sequence. The responsibility of a BYCS Substitute Teacher/Staff will be to help each child progress through these stages academically and biblically.
