Early Childhood (Preschool - Kindergarten)

We provide an encouraging, rewarding introduction to classroom education in a Christian environment for students who are 3 to 4 years-old in our Preschool 3 and Prekindergarten 4 Program. We take a whole-child approach with hands-on learning that emphasizes social, emotional, physical, and spiritual development.
