WELCOME TO ABC EXPRESS!
Guiding and nurturing children to develop a love of learning, be filled with wonder, express their curiosity and foster a faith to enhance kindness in their daily lives.
ABC Express preschool is dedicated to developing a child’s natural creativity, curiosity and sense of wonder. We also introduce children to our Christian values and the importance of our Faith. Our goal is to foster in each child a strong sense of self-worth, an introduction to the Christian faith and a positive attitude towards school. Our teachers are passionate about children and helping them learn and grow! We are a dedicated group of people who understand the importance you place on us to guide your children during the school day. Our programs are curated for four different age groups, so every lesson offers the appropriate level of engagement for your little ones.
Our Philosophy
We want to provide both a Christian program where the children receive both an intellectual challenge and a secure emotional atmosphere. Our goal is to allow children to explore their surroundings with their peers. As trained adults, we will provide an atmosphere where a child can grow and establish a positive self concept.
Our first philosophical goal is to be Christians and teach the children how to be nice friends, to act like Jesus did and to respect each other.
Order is our second goal as we will establish rules that will be designed to meet the needs of both the children and the teacher.
Our third goal is Motivation and we want to provide each child with a learning atmosphere. If a teacher is motivated about what is being introduced, the child will want to learn.
Discipline is another goal as we want to make sure that the teacher is punishing the act, not the child. Positive reinforcement and redirection should be used to help decrease any possible problem in the day.
Our fifth goal is Organization which is needed in the classroom. Every classroom should be prepared for every minute in a day, with flexibility to adhere to the children’s needs.
Lastly, a Good Relationship should be built between the child and teacher, and between the teacher and parent. A good working relationship with the family brings together the best learning environment for the child.
Our Location
We are conveniently located in The Church of St. Patrick’s in Edina, Minnesota. We are a secure building with parent access key cards.
Teacher Longevity
We chose to invest in our teachers as we feel they are what makes ABC so successful. They are all highly qualified, have years of experience with us and truly have passion to make a difference. Our average teacher stays with us at least 10 years! We are so blessed and thankful for our team!
