SaFe Day Mission Statement
Jesus welcomed children and encouraged us to welcome them in his name! At Santa Fe Presbyterian Church, we affirm that:
- all children are a gift from God;
- all children have potential;
- all children have the right to be children;
- and all children are not just tomorrow, they are today.
Santa Fe Presbyterian Church demonstrates its obedience to Christ’s mandate by operating SaFe Day.
SaFe Day Philosophy
SaFe Day’s purpose is to “Expand Tomorrow’s Horizons by Enriching Lives Today”. By providing a balance of developmentally appropriate activities and play, our school enhances physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development. There is a focus on the process of learning instead of solely outcome. This means that the emphasis we place on providing opportunities for children to observe, seek, investigate, and acquire information to think critically, may not result in lots of eye-appealing results for taking home. We recognize each child as an individual, with unique growing patterns, learning styles, and interests. Our staff will be responsive to individual needs and will maintain an atmosphere of respect and acceptance. SaFe Day promotes independence, self-reliance, self-discipline, and a sense of belonging for all children.
SaFe Day Board
The SaFe Day Board is responsible for establishing policies, procedures and programs for SaFe Day School, with guidance from the Director and the pastor. The Board is composed of six members of the church who are selected by the session (the governing body) of the church. The Director and pastor serve as ex-officio members of the Board.
