Selecting a pre-kindergarten program is an important decision in the lives of our parents and their children. Early childhood education is vital to your child’s development. Our pre-kindergarten program strives to prepare all children for kindergarten and their elementary years. We offer a loving, Christian environment and developmentally appropriate academic instruction that are important priorities to your child’s development.

Curriculum

Our pre-kindergarten curriculum is constructed into thematic units with activities that spark children’s interest that are hands-on, encouraging your child’s intellectual, emotional, spiritual, social and physical growth. Weekly lessons focus on development of cognition, reading, math, receptive and expressive language, concept knowledge, and fine and gross motor skills. Since children naturally learn through play, our curriculum allows an enriched play experience that fosters a love of learning. We also seek to create a love for Jesus and a love for others through our lessons and daily interactions.
