STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Ridge Baptist Church is a group of people who have accepted Jesus Christ as personal Savior and Lord. The church has as its mission "to seek the lost and to present the gospel." Recognizing, in October 1996, the need within the community for quality Christian child care, the church established the Promise Care Child Development Center (herein after known as the Center) as one of its ministries. The Center opened on September 2, 1997.
STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY
Recognizing that God has created each person as a unique individual, the Center strives to follow the developmental, whole-child approach to education. The Center uses a Christian curriculum which is an adapted A-Beka curriculum in our Two's, Three's and Pre-K classes. We use a developmentally-appropriate curriculum in our Infant and Toddler rooms. Children are provided age-appropriate activities and routines which encourage individualized development in each of the following content areas:
- Spiritual Growth: Helping each child to understand the person of God and his love for him/her by instruction and modeling a Christ-like example.
- Emotional Growth: Helping each child learn to recognize and accept his/her feelings and to develop a strong, positive self-concept.
- Cognitive Growth: Helping each child by stimulating his/her curiosity and sense of wonder; Helping to develop an understanding of concepts with an ability to communicate and questions; Helping to foster a sense of pleasure and excitement in learning.
- Social Growth: Encouraging each child to interact in a positive way with peers and adults while showing respect for all.
- Creative Growth: Helping each child to stimulate and develop his/her natural curiosity and imagination as well as helping to provide opportunities for discovery.
- Physical Growth: Providing activities which promote physical growth, emphasizing the body's need for exercise, good nutrition and rest.
