Christian Educational Environment

We view the time we experience with each child as an opportunity to share the love and abilities God has given us. Christian ideas are presented as a way of life rather than a separate subject. We seek to enable each child to realize his or her own God-given potential!

Developmentally-appropriate Curriculum

Our focus is directed toward meeting the needs of the whole child: physically, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and spiritually. Our program provides experiences for learning through center-based activities, stories, music, art, nature, and outdoor play, along with opportunities to learn about God, God’s world, and God’s love. A traditional theme-based preschool curriculum is enhanced by the Wee Learn teaching series.

Support and Encouragement for Parents

We support families in their efforts to provide a happy, secure, and wholesome home environment. We promote the importance of a Christ-centered family as we seek to model Christian values and services in the classroom and in our relationships. We strive to work cooperatively to ensure every child’s success at home and at school.

Medical Information

All emergency forms and a copy of your child’s current immunization record must be completed and returned prior to the first day of school.

For health reasons and because of room constraints, all children in the three-year-old classes are encouraged to be completely potty trained ­before the first day of school.

HBBP is an Allergy Aware School. If your child has any food allergies, you will be required to have an Allergy Action Plan on file by the first day of school. To provide the safest environment for all children, we may ask you to limit the foods you send to school with your child.
