who we are
Venture Kids Academy is a new ministry under the mission and outreach of Venture Church. Venture Kids Academy is focused on caring for and developing a love of learning in a Christian atmosphere and a readiness for kindergarten that emphasizes the social skills, academic preparedness, emotional and spiritual development of each child.
Philosophy
Children’s play is important to their development.
Children are provided with the opportunity to play, share and learn with other children in a safe, loving, Christian environment with an atmosphere of acceptance and warmth.
Parents are supported in the difficult but rewarding task of child rearing through the teaching staff, the church and parent events (special speakers (in-person and/or virtual), educational readings (online and/or handouts, etc.) throughout the school year. Venture Kids Academy responds to the needs of the community for quality care and education of children.

Curriculum

The daily curriculum is structured so that children learn the skills they need for Kindergarten readiness in a Christian environment. The curriculum is based on child development and appropriate practice and provides for the various ages, ability levels and developmental stages of the children. Children learn from a Bible curriculum as well each week. Prayer takes place before snacks and at the beginning of each day.
