Spiritual Development for all ages
All of our children, infants to Kindergarten attend weekly chapel/worship. Chapel consists of music, prayer and Bible lesson. Chapel is held in the Sanctuary.
The children in our 4-year-old, Transition, and Kinder classes have Faith Formation Class weekly. This special time is when we build on the week’s Bible lesson with interactive discussion time, crafts, and games.
Chapel is led by Lynette Read, Director of Children’s Ministry.
OUTSTANDING CURRICULUM
At TCT we are committed to providing excellence in early childhood education by providing a framework for best practice. This framework is grounded in the research on how young children develop and learn. Our program is designed to promote optimal learning and development. Our teachers will meet your child where they are (by stage of development), both as individuals and as part of a group; and helping each child meet challenging and achievable learning goals.
