About Us:
Hours of Operation:

We serve children 6 weeks - 6 years
and have before/after school care for K-3rd grade students.
The Wee Learn Christian curriculum is designed to be developmentally appropriate for each age group we serve. Teachers use it as a framework
on which they can build a program that allows children to grow and develop as Jesus did - in "wisdom and stature “and
in "favor with God and man". (Luke 2:52)
Fingerprints incorporates Get Set
for School curriculum by Handwriting without Tears and Alphafriends by Houghton Mifflin to prepare our Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten
children for elementary school. These curriculums are specifically designed to focus on Language & Literacy, Readiness
and Writing and Numbers and Math.
Within each classroom you will find a variety of learning
centers for the children to explore each day. They include:
Art
Blocks
Books and Listening
Home Living
Music
Nature and Science
Puzzles and Manipulative Elements
Computers (for the older children)
Teachers provide time during the day for large group and
small group activities. Spiritual growth is encouraged through Bible stories, devotions, music and worship time and
prayer.
From time to time, the older children will go on field
trips in the community. We also have special guests come visit the center.

Our Philosophy
Fingerprints believe that children are uniquely created
and gifted in diverse ways. Fingerprints also believe that children should be encouraged and guided as they seek to
understand their world. To help them as they grow and explore, we strive to provide a safe, secure, Christian environment.
At Fingerprints, children are encouraged to learn and develop spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically.
Education in the early years should excite curiosity,
stimulate creativity, expand intellectual thinking, build strong large/small motor skills, create awareness and help each
child better understand themselves and the world around them. Fingerprints uses the Wee Learn Christian curriculum.
We provide smaller classroom sizes for more individualized attention, developmentally appropriate materials and environments
set up with active learning centers.
We work as a team with each family in the daily care
of their children. We provide open and honest communication with parents each day, helping to reinforce the positive
behaviors in each child.
