A Christ Centered Purpose
At Parkwood Weekday Early Education Center and Prep School, christian education invites young people to see and understand the world through the perspective of God’s truth. The Bible becomes the lens in which students view what they are learning. The lens focuses their thinking on the ultimate truth. It is not solely about a Christian way of understanding but a Christian way of living. Christian education informs, invites, and inspires young people to live this way. This is done in a community of love and learning between families, children and teachers. After 48 years serving as an important ministry of Parkwood Church as Parkwood Weekday Early Education Center we continue to strive to fulfill the values of the Church.
