Founding and Mission
The Children’s Ark Christian Day School was founded in 1994. It is a ministry of Sent Church that seeks to provide a safe educational environment for children to learn and grow. We aspire to partner with families to help develop young children socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically and spiritually. Our staff is dedicated to serving the needs of our families. What sets us apart in Plano is our commitment to helping children learn about Jesus.
For 30 years, it has been both an honor and a privilege to provide the community's youngest members with a Bible-centered education and compassionate care. Our greatest responsibility is helping to develop children who are equipped with the knowledge, confidence and ability to prosper as they are sent out into the world.
