GEM Express Preschool & Kindergarten

Grace Educational Ministry

 

Our Mission

GEM Express Preschool & Kindergarten exists primarily to be an evangelistic outreach ministry to those in our community without a church home, and secondarily to provide support to families of Grace in the training up of their preschool and kindergarten age children according to biblical principles.

Our Vision

The vision of the ministry was and is to create an inviting and safe environment for children, ages 2-6, where they can learn through developmentally appropriate and engaging activities. We provide opportunities for students to grow physically, emotionally, and cognitively. In addition, we are committed to integrating biblical standards and truth throughout our curriculum and school policies with the goal of creating a model of learning around Christ and His character. We are committed to establishing a firm foundation for the development of a biblical worldview.

Partnership

Partnering with parents is crucial in education as it fosters a strong support system for children. We understand that when parents are actively involved, they can reinforce learning at home, leading to improved education, spiritual growth, and character development. Furthermore, it ensures consistent reinforcement of values and behavior expectations, creating a cohesive approach between home and school.
