Experienced teachers facilitate learning in a Christian, developmentally appropriate environment. Our 26 member staff have accumulated years of experience to guide and teach your child. The staff gathered here truly love what they do and want to be here with your child.

All of our staff keep abreast of new developments in the early childhood field through annual training. They are required to have a minimum of 25 hours of training each school year. These hours are obtained through local and state early childhood conferences.

We are dedicated to giving each child the feeling of being loved and accepted in a Christian environment. Feeling loved promotes a positive self-image, and enables a child to love others. With God’s help, we strive to provide you and your child with a positive early learning experience.

Early Childhood Philosophy

Salem Early Childhood adheres to the philosophy of educating the “whole child” (spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively) in a developmentally appropriate classroom environment. Children are given the opportunity to learn and grow at their own rate, and in their own way. The classrooms have a relaxed atmosphere with special interest centers that invite the children to explore, experiment, discover and develop in a way unique to them. Children are encouraged to try out their ideas with emphasis on the process rather than the product. Emphasis of the program is planned, purposeful play that allows the children to learn from hands-on experiences; thus enhancing pre-reading, pre-language, and pre-math skills.
