Classroom Information
At The Children’s Ark, we prioritize creating an optimal learning and nurturing environment by organizing children into specific age groups. This structured approach—ranging from infants at 6 weeks to Pre-K2 at 4-5 years—aims to minimize conflicts, alleviate stress on our dedicated teachers, and provide a more personalized experience for each child. By tailoring our programs to suit the developmental needs and capabilities of each age group, we ensure that every child receives appropriate care, education and social interaction that fosters their growth and development.

ABC Jesus Loves Me – Toddlers through Pre-Kindergarten
The ABC Jesus Loves Me curriculum at Children's Ark daycare integrates biblical teachings into daily lessons, providing children with a solid foundation in faith-based education. Through interactive and engaging activities such as songs, games, crafts, and stories, children learn academic skills like letters, numbers, and colors alongside character development, social skills, and emotional growth. This holistic approach fosters values such as kindness and respect while preparing children for both academic success and a positive moral upbringing.
