Van Riper Ellis Christian School

Van Riper Ellis Christian School is a Non-Profit, Christ-Centered Preschool that has been providing a developmentally appropriate and nurturing preschool experience for over 20 years. Caring for your children is at the center of everything we do. Maintaining a safe and healthy school environment for your children and our staff is our top priority. Our philosophy at Van Riper Ellis Christian School focuses on children's intellectual learning and also their social, emotional, cognitive, creative and physical growth. We know that needs of the "whole" child are important. We do this through developmentally appropriate early childhood programs. We work collaboratively to establish ongoing communications with families and to maintain mutual understanding to ensure that the children’s learning and developmental needs are met. We take the time to work with each child individually in order to address their particular needs and abilities We hope to foster a love of learning in each and every one of our students, which will last throughout their lives. We encourage both positive social interaction and self-helping abilities.
