PURPOSE

The school is conducted by the Indian Creek Church of the Brethren as an expression of concern for the Christian nurture of young children in the community, regardless of church affiliation or race. We, as a church, desire to work with parents in this nurturing experience.

The room is epuipped with child-size furnishings, offering creative play/work opportunities. The school also uses an outdoor play area that includes swings, a climber with a slide, a sandbox, riding toys, tires, and a large grassy area for active play.
