Early Childhood Education

There is an African proverb that says, “It takes a village to raise a child.” This proverb highlights the need for a community to provide children with positive experiences, meaningful interactions, and a safe environment where they can grow in a healthy way. A strong relationship between the family and the school is a key factor in a child’s development and well-being. Teachers have the opportunity to strengthen the bond between parents and children, nurture the child’s spiritual and faith development, and support parents in their role of preparing their children to engage with the wider community—society at large.

This Scripture verse serves as the foundation for Sekolah Kristen Calvin in fulfilling its calling as soul architects—introducing the true God, shaping hearts, cultivating habits of worship, obedience, and discipline, and nurturing each child’s mind from an early age. Teachers hold the perspective that every child is created in the image and likeness of God, possessing great potential to be discovered and developed—offering hope for the future of the nation. The redemption accomplished by Jesus Christ has the power to transform, reconcile, and renew the hearts of children so they may fulfill their original calling: to glorify and enjoy God forever.

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
