Our Mission

Our mission is to work in partnership with parents to lay a strong foundation for learning in the next

generation of young children. We are committed to fostering academic growth, building strong moral

character, and nurturing a curiosity and love of learning. Through a structured and engaging program,

students will learn and grow in an environment where they have fun, explore new ideas, interact with

their surroundings, and develop the skills needed for the next stage of their educational journey.

📖 Our Story So Far

Our Origins

Faithful Foundations Preschool & Kindergarten was established in 2022 to serve families in Estacada and surrounding communities who seek an intentional, values-driven approach to early education. Formed in the wake of the pandemic — when many parents began re-evaluating their schooling options — Faithful Foundations was created to provide a consistent, structured environment where children are nurtured academically, socially, and with a foundation rooted in faith.

From the beginning, our school has served as a trusted alternative to big school systems, offering families the opportunity to choose a program aligned with their values and expectations. With small class sizes, strong teacher-parent partnerships, and a warm, faith-based atmosphere, we help children build the confidence and character they need to thrive.

In 2023, we expanded to include a part-day Kindergarten program in response to parent demand for a high-quality, developmentally appropriate alternative to full-day public Kindergarten. Our flexible, part-day schedules offer families the balance they need — combining academic excellence, a caring environment, and the ability to stay engaged in their child’s early years.

At Faithful Foundations, we believe in strong starts, strong values, and strong relationshipsa foundation that continues to guide everything we do.

✝️ Statement of Faith

As a school, we commit ourselves to the following Statement of Faith, which serves as the foundation of our instruction and guiding principles: ​ 🙏 We believe in one God, the Creator of all things, eternally existing in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. ✝️ We believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, fully God and fully man. He was born of the Virgin Mary, lived a sinless life, died on the cross as the payment for our sin, rose from the dead in victory over sin and death, and ascended into heaven, where He intercedes with the Father for believers. 🧍‍♂️We believe that human beings—created in the image of God—fell into sin, bear the penalty of that sin, and therefore require regeneration by the Holy Spirit through faith and new birth in order to receive forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life. 📖 We believe the Bible, consisting of the Old and New Testaments, to be the inspired Word of God—the complete revelation of His will for the salvation of mankind and the final authority for all Christian faith and conduct. 🎁 We believe that salvation is a free gift of God, available only through personal faith in Jesus Christ. All who receive Him as Savior become children of God and receive both forgiveness of sin and eternal life. 🌅 We believe in the resurrection of both believers and unbelievers—believers to everlasting life and fellowship with God, and unbelievers to eternal, conscious judgment and separation from Him. 👑 We believe that Jesus Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead, reward the faithfulness of believers, and establish His perfect Kingdom rule forever.
