Vision Statement
Yosemite Lakes Christian Academy Preschool is a child-centered, sensory-rich environment that provides for varied educational needs, fosters hands-on inquiry and celebrates the spirituality of children from all walks of life.
Engage, Enrich and Enjoy...
Its Where We Learn!
We believe that Yosemite Lakes Christian Academy is called to provide a developmentally appropriate environment in which each child can grow in wisdom, stature, and in relationship with God and others.
We believe that each child is created in God’s own image, with an innate capacity to learn, understand, create, and serve.
We believe that the diversity and mystery of God’s creation is to be welcomed, embraced, and explored.
