Preschool 2

This classroom is filled with students ages 3 to 4 year olds. 

Our preschool program fosters play-based learning to help children explore the world and their roles within family and friendships. Through the Adventures in Learning curriculum, aligned with Arkansas CDELS, and the Frolic Bible study, we emphasize language, literacy, Christian education, and moral and spiritual development. Every child's unique abilities are nurtured through engaging activities that prepare them for kindergarten.

Throughout the year, field trips, classroom visits by professionals in various fields, and other special events enhance the total program.

Meet the teachers

Our staff is nurturing, caring, and genuinely dedicated to young children and their families. They receive ongoing training from early childhood professionals in developmentally appropriate practices. Many hold CDA (Child Development Associate) credentials and are certified in first aid and CPR.
