The philosophy of the Maranatha Child Development Center is to provide children and parents with a warm, secure and nurturing Christian environment that allows children to learn and develop at their own pace. The classrooms and curriculum facilitate learning through exploration, experimentation and discovery, by providing opportunities for creative activities, role-play, music, indoor and outdoor experiences, while mastering skills and getting help with emerging ones.
Our program fosters the development of the total child by ensuring a rich and supportive environment to foster their spiritual, physical, emotional social and cognitive developments. A variety of materials, equipment and resources are used to ensure this growth. Under the guidance of our teachers, children will learn to make wise choices, tolerate and respect individual differences, and have a healthy respect for authority. Parental involvement is encouraged so that child and parent benefit from the home away from home experience.
