Train a child in the way that he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it.
Proverbs 22:6
Our Core Values
Scripture teaches us that if we properly instruct a child early in that child’s development, being careful to adequately shape and ultimately establish a proper Bible based moral core, that child will readily reference this foundation when making decisions later in life. The child will remain true to the principles he has been taught to revere right into his adulthood (Proverbs 22:6). This in turn will provide the child with the greatest chances of heightened success in life.
Our school understands the essential truth that the earliest events in a child’s life are often the most influential overall and fundamentally determine the course of a child’s development. Influential factors not only include specific events experienced by the child, but they also include the ambiance (light, sounds), architecture, design influences, individual and cultural treasures (music, art) the child is exposed to at a variety of levels throughout their development. Of particular import is the synergy between a child's parents and their religious school in inculcating proper bible based dogma into the subconscious mind of a child highlighted by Prov. 22:6. This is how a child's worldview is formed and will determine just how the child not only see,s but how he/she approaches life. God emphasizes the importance of this in the Hebrew Shema, - "Shema Yisrael (Hear, O Israel) found in Deuteronomy 6:4-7:
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
Our Roots
Li'l Masters Academy (LM) is a ministry of Hope Center Tabernacle and is affiliated with Hope Center Arts, a non-profit Christian organization dedicated to promoting the arts in early childhood education and throughout each child's life into adulthood. At LM we understand that while classical education is critically important and leads to knowledge, a child is more than just a biological entity to be trained. A child is a human being created in the image of God and as such requires an educational experience that address the holistic needs of the child - their intellectual, cultural, emotional and spiritual needs. Our program is designed to meet all of these needs.
A child's life is incomplete if they are lacking a means through which they can be sensitized to the culture that surrounds them. Though field trips exposing the child to art, music, dance and theatre, we seek to inspire the child entrusted to our care. This in turn motivates each child to want to learn. Though our admissions policy is completely non-discriminatory, our curriculum is Christian as is the world-view that we seek to instill in the minds and hearts of the children we are blessed to teach and mentor.
