Our Mission Statement
"The mission of Holmeswood Early Education center is to embrace children and their families with God's love as we help them explore, discover and learn about themselves and their world and grow to become all that God designed them to be. We teach children that God made them as unique, special people."
Our Philosophy of Early Childhood Education
We believe that children are our greatest heritage. They are made in God's image as capable, worthwhile human beings. They grow physically, socially, intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. As they grow, they construct their own knowledge about themselves, others and about the world around them. Because of this, we provide experiences that intentionally stimulate each child's growth.
