Vision
Our goal at Messiah is to provide a nurturing environment where the individual physical, emotional, cognitive, social and spiritual growth of each child is encouraged and celebrated.
​
This is accomplished by developing safe, enriching Christian learning environments that promote:
-
a growing relationship with Jesus Christ by modeling, teaching and practicing age-appropriate components of spiritual development
-
loving, nurturing interactions between Christian educators, children and their families
-
inclusive, anti-bias curriculum and policies that reflect the diversity of children and families in our community and the world around us
-
a commitment to exceeding the standards, goals and practices of Early Childhood Center Certification of the Evangelical Lutheran Education Association (ELEA) and the DCFS Licensing Regulations of the State of Illinois
-
continuing staff growth and development in faith, understanding of how children learn and grow and develop and ways to support parents to the fullest
