School Philosophy

The PELC believes in the development of the whole child. This includes the child’s physical, social, intellectual, and emotional growth and development. In a warm and loving environment, children are encouraged to reach their fullest potential in all areas of life.

• We nurture each child’s development in the natural way children learn through play.

• We believe each child is a gift; a special and unique individual.

• We focus on the development of self-esteem, awareness of others and of the natural world, in a blend of education and Christian spirit.
