Starting Blocks Preschool will teach children Biblical truths in concrete ways to reinforce academic excellence that aligns to the Arizona Early Learning Standards by providing knowledge and skills for continuous learning through high quality Christian programs, services, and support.

Starting Blocks Preschool believes a preschool education is a series of new beginnings and challenges that can bring purpose and successful outcomes that will last a life time. In order to provide opportunities for each child with a high quality preschool experience, Starting Blocks Preschool will:

1. Teach children in concrete ways through hands-on experiences that allows for reflection and reasoning.
2. Teach children to apply their learning to real-world problems.
3. Teach children Biblical truths that will drive academic understanding and successful Christian living.
4. Teach children to care about people other than themselves and to think about the effects of their actions both in the present and in the future.
5. Teach students to use their knowledge to promote values, such as sincerity, love of God and Jesus, integrity, respect, honesty, compassion, etc.

Starting Blocks Preschool is structured to provide each child a rich experience preparing him/her to be a lifelong learner. Education is more than understanding knowledge found in a book. It is a gift given when students are allowed to explore, investigate, and discover the world around them. Starting Blocks Preschool believes knowing how to teach, what to offer, when to engage, and where to facilitate, contributes to the success of a high quality preschool education.

Starting Blocks Preschool is a fully integrated preschool program that fosters every child's social and emotional growth as well as his/her physical, mental, and spiritual development. Starting Blocks Preschool will give equal attention when preparing a curriculum to fit the needs of each child and will plan and implement the curriculum knowing that each child's self-expression, creativity and analytical thinking develop through play.
