Nurturing Character Through Our Faith-Based Curriculum
At the heart of The Learning Garden is our distinctive Christian Curriculum, designed to cultivate strong character qualities in each child. We focus on values such as forgiveness, gentleness, compassion, and thankfulness, alongside responsibility, love, and humility. Our curriculum emphasizes initiative, contentment, obedience, patience, and generosity. We also foster joyfulness, orderliness, discernment, reverence, diligence, perseverance, Christian example, respectfulness, and self-control. Through engaging lessons and activities, we weave these essential qualities into the daily experiences of our students, helping them grow into well-rounded and compassionate individuals.

Healthy Snack Options for Growing Children
We are committed to providing nutritious and delicious snacks that fuel your child’s day. Mirroring the care we take in our own homes, The Learning Garden’s daily breakfast and afternoon snacks feature fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and dairy products. We prioritize healthy hydration by offering milk and readily available water throughout the day, and we never serve juice. Our menus are carefully planned to offer variety and essential nutrients for growing bodies and minds. Explore our sample menus for Breakfast and Snack Menu to see the wholesome options we provide.
