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
