Preschool

Be curious

Your preschooler asks a hundred questions a day. Where does the sun go at night? What does God look like? Why does it rain?

We see those questions as gifts, not interruptions.

Your little one’s mind is soaking up information like a sponge. We believe the best place for this curiosity to be sparked, fueled, and satisfied is in a Christ-centered environment.

Beginning Literacy Skills

Letters become friends, not assignments. Using the Abeka curriculum and activities our teachers create, your child will master letter recognition and develop a foundational understanding of phonics.

Age-Appropriate Listening Skills

Daily storytime teaches your child to listen, process, and share their thoughts. We pause for questions and celebrate when little voices contribute ideas.

Listening extends beyond stories to following instructions, both for learning activities and life skills like cleaning up or waiting in line. Our classrooms stay intentionally quiet and calm, helping your child develop the focus and attention skills they’ll use throughout their education.

Mathematical Thinking

Your child moves from touching and counting real things—classroom objects, walking steps—to recognizing and writing numbers on paper. This concrete-to-abstract approach helps mathematical concepts stick.

Daily calendar lessons and counting to 100 build the foundation they’ll need throughout elementary school. By year’s end, they’ll recognize and write numbers 1-20 with confidence.

Biblical Foundation and Character Development

Every day begins with Bible lessons that start with Creation Week and journey through Old Testament character studies to Christ’s teachings in the New Testament. Your child won’t just passively hear these stories. They’ll memorize portions of Scripture, so they can carry God’s Word in their heart.

And these aren’t abstract lessons. When your preschooler learns to share toys or comfort a sad friend, they’re applying biblical truths in real time. We help them see how God’s principles guide everyday choices, building character that will serve them for life.

Social and Emotional Growth

Learning to share, wait your turn, and show kindness doesn’t come naturally to four-year-olds. Our teachers create a nurturing environment with age-appropriate structure that helps these essential skills take root.

Your child learns interpersonal skills like sharing, patience, humility, and forgiveness through daily interactions with classmates. We’re far from rigid, but we do help students follow instructions and develop the social foundation they’ll need for kindergarten and beyond.
