OUR PROGRAMS: You will find our infant room to be clean, bright and cheerful with plenty of room for crawling and exploring. Caregivers provide a stimulating environment where children can be safe, healthy and build relationships, while experimenting with age- and stage-appropriate toys and materials. * TODDLERS The most important element in our toddler program is the relationship building process. Toddlers develop best in an atmosphere that includes meaningful interaction with caregivers, other children, plenty of safe, age-appropriate toys and materials to explore and experiment with, and lots of tender loving care. Each toddler is a precious gift from God and will be taught this daily by our staff. * PRESCHOOL Hands-on, theme-based learning experiences are provided for our preschool children in a loving, encouraging environment that daily facilitates their continued social, emotional, physical, creative and spiritual growth and development. * KINDERGARTEN Our goal is to nurture a hunger for learning that carries children through their future elementary years. Most kindergarteners are "little sponges," eager and excited to learn whatever they can. Kelso Christian Academy provides a literacy- rich environment, and appropriate learning experiences to build on their natural desire to learn. * SCHOOL-AGE CARE School-age children are offered ample opportunities for socializing and problem- solving. They have their own spacious room with lots of materials with which they can be creative. Our large gym provides space and materials for physical activities. Their environment is safe and secure. A good place to be when out of school and parents or guardians are at work.

Our children spend the majority of their young lives in the classroom. Many Christian parents take advantage of the opportunities offered by a Christian school to help train their child up in the way that he or she should go (Proverbs 22:6).
It is exciting to know that there are 923 Assemblies of God/Association of Christian Teachers and Schools (ACTS) sponsored day schools and childcare centers within the United States. Christian teachers have approximately 1260 instructional contact hours per year in a day school and over 2,000 in a childcare center. This allows a tremendous amount of direct Christian discipleship and evangelism to occur in this school system.
Private education accounts for 118,296 students within Assemblies of God/ACTS schools. According to the most current statistics from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), approximately 10% of all U.S. students are educated in private schools. Between now and 2014, the number of students in private schools is expected to continue to increase by 5%.
