The Academy
The Academy is under the full sponsorship and authority of Spring Branch Presbyterian Church and operates under the policies and guidelines of the church and its preschool ministry. A church appointed Academy Board of dedicated volunteers provides guidance in the administration of the Academy. These volunteers are active members of Spring Branch Presbyterian Church who have interest and expertise in early child development, business, and/or human resource management. The Board meets monthly to assist in creating and implementing specific procedures and policies for the Academy. The Academy Director supervises the daily operation of the Academy and is a strong Christian leader with education, training, and experience in early child development, business and human resource management.
Our Purpose and Mission
The Academy is designed to provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment where children learn through play. Our programs are based upon principles of growth and development, which provide guidelines for age-appropriate activities suited to the needs and abilities of the individual child. We view each child as a special gift from God, uniquely created, deserving of our respect, care, and guidance. We hope to foster a positive self-image as well as develop independence and self-reliance in each child. To accomplish these goals, we use the Fun Shine Express early leaning curriculum, whose writers and editors are leaders and experts in the field of early childhood education.
Working hand in hand with the parents of the children enrolled with us, we strive to provide a warm, loving and responsive child-centered environment. Through careful lesson planning, our teaching staff offers a number of learning experiences each day to enhance the physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual growth of the child. We endeavor to introduce the child to the world God made through observation of the natural world and through hands-on adventures. Our curriculum includes foundational teachings about God and Jesus, incorporating Bible stories and Bible thoughts and verses. Church members and staff lead chapel.
