Children need the freedom and time to play. Play is not a luxury. Play is a necessity.

~Kay Redfield Jamison

Christ Lutheran Day School’s curriculum philosophy is based upon the following principles:

Developmentally appropriate practices as established by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.

A focus on the whole child - to include development in the areas of literacy, sensory organization, motor activity, social-emotional development, and approach to learning.

A belief that children develop through a developmental continuum, rather than accomplishing a particular skill set all at once.
