ACADEMICS

Early Childhood

We at Regina Early Childhood Center feel that growth takes love.  Learning through love promotes loving to learn. We provide a warm, nurturing environment where children are valued, respected and feel important in the world. Every person in the world possesses a unique individuality, not simply for mere existence, but to fulfill a distinct purpose. Each child, created by God, must be recognized and accepted as an individual with his/her unique qualities, needs, and pattern of growth.

Elementary

Regina Elementary is committed to educating the whole child through a challenging and relevant curriculum. Regina is fully accredited and licensed by the State of Iowa, and we align our curriculum to the Diocese of Davenport’s curriculum standards. We are also in the process of adapting the Iowa Core Curriculum, which begins in 2014 for all Iowa elementary schools.
