General Information

Family of Faith Christian Academy was established in 1992 as a year-round, church affiliated, child care and pre-school education center. We are fully licensed and dedicated to providing the highest quality care and education for your child. We understand that the most important years for your child's educational, social, and spiritual development are between six weeks and five years of age. It is our goal to provide all children with a feeling of acceptance, love, and security as they begin their educational enrichment. All of our staff members are experienced in early childhood development and education. We are dedicated to providing the academic, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being required by every child during these important formative years.

Classes

To the greatest extent possible, children are assigned classes based on achieved developmental level in Infant through Early Pre-School years and by birth date and the September 1–August 31 age grouping system used by the public school system for Pre-School and Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten years.

Mission Statement:
The greatest act of love we can perform is to teach our children about God's love for everyone in Christ and to foster patience and kindness toward all.

Philosophy

The philosophy of Family of Faith Christian Academy is to foster Christian values in a structured framework of creative learning and active play and to assist children in becoming independent thinkers, problem solvers, and life-long learners.

Curriculum & Programs

Family of Faith Christian Academy has adopted Teaching Strategies’, “Creative Curriculum,” for our use. We survey nature, seasons, holidays, and many other interesting topics regarding the world about us and integrate them into this curriculum. Signing and Spanish languages are taught. Spiritual development through the use of Bible stories is also provided.

Program Goals

• To provide a Christian environment in which to learn and develop through real life experiences and to furnish a loving and caring example by teachers and staff.
• To provide a safe, secure, and caring environment for all children under our care.
• To allow children to learn through structured play; to develop spiritually, socially, physically, emotionally, intellectually, and artistically into a whole person of God in a Christian-based environment.
• To develop a mutually supportive relationship between families and the Academy in order to provide a firm foundation for your child's experiences, development, and growth.

Because children vary in their nutritional preferences, we ask parents to provide a balanced lunch for their child. The Academy will provide juice and a snack twice a day, morning and afternoon.

Staff

All employees of Family of Faith have been thoroughly screened by the State of Florida. Teaching personnel have state certification in child care and early childhood development. They attend required in-service training and renew their CPR and First Aid training annually. We encourage all personnel to further their child care and early childhood development education wherever and whenever possible.
