Mission and Philosophy

MISSION

The O'Chester Learning Center seeks to be a radiant ministry of Great Hills Baptist Church by shining and teaching God's love to every child so that we may impact our families, this community, and our world to His glory.

PHILOSOPHY

We believe that a child's work is 'to play'.  This is how a child best learns.  If we allow a child to experience concrete concepts he will then be prepared to work with abstract concepts when academics are introduced.  We provide age-appropriate education in order to meet the needs of the whole child - socially, emotionally, physically, intellectually, and spiritually.  It is our desire that children develop social skills while learning respect for others, and feel the presence of Jesus' love through all they are taught and experience.
