Philosophy

The following principles undergird our philosophy and underlie all administration, operation and practices in early childhood care and education at City Impact Church.

We are a Christian Early Childhood Centre, committed to providing childcare and education of excellence. Our purpose is to enhance the development of children in all areas of Biblical belief, lifestyle, behaviour, character and habit. Children develop to their fullest potential when education and care is offered within an environment of spiritual character, values and principles.

Our desire is to care for and nurture the coming generations, sharing the love and truth of Jesus Christ with children and their families.

 We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, His power and the wonderful things He has done.

                                                                                                                                  (Psalm 78:4)

We recognise varied individual learning characteristics and provide a rich, exciting and fun play environment where children are able to explore, create, discover, contribute, choose and learn.

Our Creed

I am made in the image of God. I am confident in my identity, purpose and influence. Full of the power of the Holy Spirit I live according to the Word of God in character and conduct to be a Kingdom Builder, World Changer and Dominion Taker.

Our Educational Programme

All our lesson plans are Bible-based upon the word of God which flows through into every aspect of the children’s care and education.

This includes:

• Building a Biblical Worldview
• Building in the Spirit
• Building a Place in History
• Building an Understanding of God
• Building Servant Leaders and Change Agents
• Building the Heart of City Impact Church
• Building Confidence and Character

With put the programme together with each child’s social, physical, intellectual, language, emotional and spiritual needs in mind, so they’ve got heaps of options available to them in any given day. We work with the children individually and in groups to make sure everyone one develops a love of learning.

Childcare is designed to give maximum opportunity for your child’s learning and development.

Each day the following areas of learning are available:

• Music and Movement
• Family Corner
• Creativity
• Book Corner
• Puzzle/Manipulative
• Structured Mat times—group learning.

We also love to find activities and learning opportunities that will build on the interests, strengths and needs of the children. A biblical worldview is at the centre of who we are and so all our teaching is built on that foundation.
