Our half-day Preschool and Kindergarten programs allow each child to develop socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically and spiritually. We offer opportunities daily for children ages 12 months through Kindergarten to explore their abilities, express ideas and play with friends. Enrichment programs such as Music, Science, Chapel, Creative Movement, My Gym, Christian Education and Learning Center (our school library) broaden the children’s exposure to the greater world around them and enhance classroom experiences. Field trips, seasonal performances, and special events help expand learning outside the classroom and build confidence in our children. Our curriculum, staff, and classroom environment inspire children to become life-long learners.

This program helps children develop gross motor skills, listening skills, gentle hands, imagination and a warm heart, through creative play and exercise.
