Mission
The Ark is a non-profit school whose purpose is to provide
a Christian learning experience that will meet each child's
spiritual, mental, physical, emotional , and social needs.
Description of Services
The Ark includes a day care program for infants, as well
as a toddler, two's, and preschool program. These programs
include flexible scheduling options, and they are developmentally
appropriate with activities, curriculum, and learning materials
geared for each group. Extended day care is also provided

Philosophy
The Ark is designed to promote quality child development
in a setting where Christian values and principles are observed.
A goal of The Ark is to provide children with experiences that
build a good self-image, foster creativity, and develeop an awareness
of all persons as children of God. We believe
that through a wide variety of expreinces the child can be
helped to become friendly, condsiderate, and loving.
We strive to provide an atmosphere that fosters critical
and creative thinking as well as self-respect, self-reliance
and self-discipline. A child's spiritual growth is promoted
by modeling and teaching Christian attitudes and values.
The Ark serves as both a resource and a support system to
parents. Open communication is one of the most important
ingredients in a quality program. As partners in "parenting"
we welcome your comments and concerns.
