SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT At TCC, emphasis is placed on Christian beliefs and values. A strong, loving Christian atmosphere is developed through the love of God that is shared with the children by our caring and nurturing staff. In addition to daily prayer, teaching occurs through Bible-based songs and stories, drama, missions projects, and special events. Each week in “Bible Time,” the children hear a lesson with help from our friend, Woolly Lamb. They are introduced to themes from both the Old and New Testaments, learn Bible verses, and sing songs that compliment the story. It is hoped that each child will learn to celebrate God’s love through Jesus, His son, and to know Jesus as a friend.

FAMILY INVOLVEMENT The Children’s Corner understands that the family unit is integral to your child’s healthy development. In an effort to continually strengthen this unit, we hold a variety of fun events throughout the year that involve the whole family. Parental participation is always welcomed and encouraged. Annual events include: • Halloween Parade & Party • 4-Year-Old Thanksgiving Feast • Christmas Concert • Parent’s Day Spring Program • Carnival • TCC Sunday • Graduation Ceremony
