Setting us Apart
Christian Emphasis
Learning at Holloway House will be "Christ Centered." Biblical truths, so vital in the formative years, are woven throughout the total learning program. These truths become the basis for encouraging concepts of self-worth and self-discipline. Bible time is the high point of the day. Bible truths are taught through exciting Bible stories and application lessons. This approach helps relate the truths to situations and problems even younger children have.
Music and Stage Performance
The Bible lessons students learn are shared through our Christmas and Spring programs. Students develop confidence and self-esteem when they find they can get up in front of an audience to sing and speak. They work with musicians and soundtracks, learn to use microphones and follow stage directions.
Physical and Social Skills
Free play and organized games offer opportunity to mature in physical and social skills.
Who is Eligible?
4 and 5 year old Pre-K and Kindergarten children who meet the September 15th Iowa Department of Education birthday requirements are eligible for enrollment. Classes are limited in size. Pre-kindergarten has 10-12 students, kindergarten has 12-15 students per class. Each class has two teachers, so we have a very low student to teacher ratio. Holloway House Learning Center admits students of any race, color, national or ethnic origin.
