"We believe that, when exposed to a loving and caring Christian atmosphere, the social and academic development of children will be enhanced. Children need inter-relationships with people and a variety of new experiences to ready them for the formalized learning that will be expected of them soon."
MCC Preschool Curriculum
Through a multi-sensory approach to learning, your preschooler will be exposed to a variety of educational activities in an environment which will encourage a continual interest in learning. With these objectives in mind, we have developed a curriculum which is based on the Ohio Early Learning Content Standards and The Creative Curriculum for preschool education as well as our own educational philosophy.
