Our Preschool in Pictures
Age appropriate classroom ready for growing minds to learn.
Preschoolers need materials and equipment that will spark their interest:
they thrive when they are able to experiment, test things out for themselves, and draw their own conclusions.

Sitting in a circle and learning and sharing is a great way for the whole group to be involved in one activity. Time spent on this activity will help children to learn behavior skills, such as sitting and listening, that they will need for years to come.

Science Stations
Children learn best when “doing”. Hands on science activities do just that, by observing, predicting, experimenting, interpreting and forming a conclusion. This empowers children and helps lay the foundation for a life-long love of learning.
Science:
- Reinforces critical thinking; cause and effect.
- Teaches kids about life and the world around them.
- Helps develop patience and perseverance in children.
- Sparks kids’ minds, they too can help solve the world’s big problems.
Chapel Time
Learning about Jesus in a fun and interactive time with our pastors
Play Time
We have a large, fenced in outdoor play area where children can let their imagination run wild (when the weather cooperates)
When the weather isn’t so nice and for structured exercise time we bring the fun inside. We have a huge, full size gym that gives us plenty of room to get the wiggles out.
Kitchen
We have a full size, commercially licensed kitchen to prepare lunch by a certified cook.
