Our Philosophy
Our goals at GLP are to teach children to enjoy and love the learning process.
We provide an environment where children learn the basic properties of materials through hands-on discovery. Our students learn how to develop a positive self-image and how to cooperate as they learn. At GLP, children are taught to love Christ and each other. We strive to help our students learn to be compassionate, caring members of society.
Our Objectives
Support successful learners through activities that are age appropriate, can be easily mastered, and are tailored to each child's needs.
Provide a variety of materials and experiences in which children can explore their environment in various ways using many different materials in creative art projects, science materials, etc.
Demonstrate and teach social skills such as sharing, cooperating, listening and negotiating through free play, cooperative games, and circle time.
Methodology
Read Bible stories and create activities based on Christian teachings and offer opportunities for children to participate in community service, such as food drives and local charities.
The methodology used considers that young children learn best by being actively involved in all activities rather than being passive listeners. Children will use all their senses, and indeed their whole bodies, as they acquire new information.
​
Young children learn most of their social skills through play and need at least 45 minutes each day for uninterrupted free play.
​
Children will also work at their own developmental levels and will not be made to feel inadequate if they are achieving at a slower rate than their peers.
