“Train up a child in the way he should go, even when he is old he will not depart from it.” - Proverbs 22:6

HISTORY

For several years Mrs. Fran Patterson and several other ladies at Sharon Baptist Church prayed for the children of Hardin County and Savannah to have the opportunity to be in a spiritual, consistent, safe, loving, and nurturing environment. They felt the place to start should begin with the very young and build into including children of all ages that had a desire for a Christian education. Out of these prayers K.I.D.S. was born in September 1995.

K.I.D.S. opened her doors with twenty-three part-time students and a staff of four ladies. K.I.D.S. has continued to grow, moving into new buildings in 1998 and 2007. The 2007 building was destroyed by a tornado on Tuesday, February 5, 2008. The vision is for Sharon Baptist Church, K.I.D.S. and SCA to be in a new building by January 2010.

MISSION STATEMENT

To partner with you as parents to raise children who have a heart for Christ as well as preparing them for success in future education.

The purpose of the weekday education program (K.I.D.S) is to provide care and development spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, and socially for each enrolled child. This is to be consistent with Christian principles of Sharon Baptist Church based on the authority of the Bible.

K.I.D.S. is agency approved by Tennessee Department of Education and a member of American Christian Schools International.

BIBLICAL TEACHING

We strive to:

• help each child to develop a feeling of safety and security that is associated with worship
• help children to know God loves them as they are
• help children to recognize behavior patterns that are desirable
• enjoy a habit of giving thanks for everyday experiences
• discuss and experience things that God has done to show His love
• increase a child’s ability to become a part of the daily religious education activities

THE PROGRAM

We will be using the ABEKA Christian curriculum. Your child will participate in a variety of activities such as:

• experiencing and learning foundational truths of the Christian faith
• working with paints, clay, crayons, blocks, and other manipulative materials
• take field trips for the 4 and 5 year old class to points of interest in the community
• enjoying stories, poetry, dramatization, films, and books
• learning to share, take turns, plan, work, think, and reason as he/she works and plays with others
• learning to respond rhythmically to music, singling new songs, and listening to different kinds of music
• attending weekly chapel services

PROGRAM FEES

We offer part-time and full time programs for ages 24 months through 5 year olds.

There is a $100 fee due at time of registration to guarantee your child's place in August and a book and supplies fee according to their class.

The monthly fees are as follows:

There will be an extra $3 a day for those two year olds not potty trained

ENROLLMENT REQUIREMENTS

A child, who turns two, three or four years old by September 30th will be in their age appropriate classes. A child, who turns five by December the 1st, could go into our five year old class. This is at the director/teacher discretion.

All children ages three through five years old must be completely potty trained. The two year olds are the only ones allowed in pull-ups or diapers.

All health and enrollment records must be completed and returned to K.I.D.S. before a child may enter the preschool program.
