Mission Statement
Agape Christian Preschool (ACP) provides a learning environment that nurtures a child’s capacity to grow socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively.
We strive to deepen a child’s commitment to positive values such as kindness, helpfulness, and respect for others.
Our goal is to help make the future brighter and better by educating our children in a positive and warm environment.
ACP was founded out of a love for children and a commitment to addressing their needs. Each child is a valuable gift, and it is our purpose to provide a learning environment in these areas:
Intellectual – sparks curiosity to explore and learn through our five senses, laying the foundation for a positive outlook on learning.
Social – helps children learn to cooperate, plan, and interact with their peers, while encouraging respect for others and their belongings.
Behavioral – helps the child learn acceptable ways to reach their goals while guiding them toward self-control by recognizing which behaviors are appropriate and which should be avoided or adjusted.
Physical – promotes activities to help improve both gross and fine motor coordination through a variety of indoor and outdoor exercises.
Emotional – boosts a positive self-image while offering consistent genuine affection and acceptance.
As an outreach ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church (ELC), we feel honored to support parents in raising their children to lead happy, well-adjusted lives.
Toddler Time
Toddler Time is a facilitated, adult-child playgroup. The adult (who is participating with the child) is responsible to remain with and supervise the child(ren) including any toileting needs. ELC of Mt Horeb and/or ACP are not held liable for any child(ren) present in the care of an accompanying adult. The child(ren) along with the adult move through the session according to the daily schedule. (For example, when it is outdoor time, the entire group moves outdoors.) Because this is a facilitated group, the facilitator interacts with adults and/or children to assure the enjoyment of all participants, and safety of materials and facility. Participation of any adult or child(ren) in Toddler Time is at the discretion of the Toddler Time facilitator, the ACP Director and/or the ACP Board of Directors, and/or ELC Church Council.
