At our school, we are committed to providing the best developmentally appropriate Christian education to all children, regardless of their race, creed, or national origin. We nurture quality, creative learning through play, social interaction, and hands-on experiences. Our goal is to help each child reach their full potential and develop a love for learning that will last.

Welcome to our preschool program for children ages 3-5!

Preschool

  • Our preschool day operates Monday - Thursday 8:00 a.m. to noon. These mornings are filled with fun and educational activities that will help your child grow and develop in a loving, safe, Christian atmosphere. We believe in creating a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn and explore at their own pace. 
     

Afternoon Enrichment

  • Childcare enrichment is a great way to keep your child engaged and learning throughout the day from noon to 5:30 p.m. Your child will have a blast while developing important skills and sharing time with friends.
     

Early Drop-Off Childcare

  • We offer early drop-off childcare service for children enrolled in preschool as well as our primary school. Dropoff time from 7:15 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Our experienced staff is dedicated to ensuring that your child has a positive and engaging experience while in our care. 

 

After School Childcare

  • After school childcare provides a safe and engaging place for kids until guardians are able to pick them up at the end of the day, 3:40 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. This is less structured play and gives kids a chance to interact with their peers. ​

​

Friday Childcare and Enrichment

  • Friday childcare enrichment is a healthy and fun environment for children on days when school is not in session, 7:15 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Our program offers a variety of activities to keep children engaged and entertained.
