Pre-school is often the first opportunity for a child to bridge the gap between home and the outside world. The adjustment they make to this change affects attitutes and development for future school years. Therefore, it is our belief that pre-school should provide a warm loving and caring setting for each child - an environment with varied learning experiences. GUIDING HANDS will supply the tools that motivate and stimulate self direction in your child

1. To provide a modified school experience to bridge the gap between home and school

2. To encourage your child to socialize with people outside the home in a meaningful play group.

3. To encourage your child to develop a sense of respect for other people and their property.

4. To develop your child's interest in reading.

5. To provide a warm, caring, Christian environment with varied experience of learning and fun.
