Learning through play
All of our play-based and nature-based learning adds up to a lot of kindergarten readiness. With Creative Curriculum, a research-based early childhood curriculum, we engage our students in play-based activities centered on the early literacy, early math and social skills they will need, all while encouraging physical growth, healthy risk-taking and faith in God. Students leave our classrooms ready for kindergarten.
With one teacher for every eight preschoolers, your child is known, encouraged and loved. Families may choose a full day or half day schedule.
