2's Teacher Assistant

As an outreach of Horizon Presbyterian Church, our mission is to partner with parents to grow the heart, mind, and spirit of the whole child in a Christ-centered environment. Over the past 20 years, hundreds of 2- to 6-year-olds have deeply benefited from our programs. Not only are children ready for school after attending our program, but they also experience God’s love. We are a small, intimate, loving, nurturing Christian program. Relationships are key to everything we do. We teach children to develop a love of learning through play using the High/Scope Curriculum. We also teach children to develop a love of God by exposing them to Christianity, Chapel, and lessons from the Bible.
