"As a mother, I am so excited for my children to have these incredible teachers."
Mrs. Baker, Teacher & Parent
Kindergarten
The early school years are important
ones for your child. Therefore, Blue Ridge Christian Academy provides
a loving Christian atmosphere where children can become creative
decision makers, constructive problem solvers, cooperative playmates,
and enthusiastic admirers of God’s creation. Our program provides a
learning environment rich in experiences and hands-on learning
materials. Christ is at the center of our program.
Our goals for
early education include:
Providing a secure and loving
environment for a child’s development.
Developing a sense of wonder,
appreciation, and excitement for learning about God and His world.
Encouraging each child to develop their
own creativity and uniqueness by giving them the freedom to try new
ideas.
Encouraging activities and experiences
involving large and small motor skills.
Enhancing the child’s ability to
express his thoughts verbally and creatively.
Establishing a sense of social
responsibility by encouraging cooperation and sensitivity to others.
Developing a positive attitude toward
school and learning, and encouraging good listening and work habits.
Developing an assurance of God’s love
for the child and encouraging a loving response to God and others.
At BRCA, Children Learn...
At a rate unique to themselves.
By building on past experiences.
Through their play.
Through all their senses.
Best when they feel a sense of
achievement and self-worth.
Best when they feel physically and
emotionally safe and secure.
Through repetition.
Actively as they manipulate and
experiment with a variety of materials and situations.
