The Pre-K Class is for children who are four years of age by September 1. It provides each child with the opportunity to discover God’s world through developmentally appropriate activities. Successful interaction with math, language and science activities promotes self confidence, while developing self-control, social skills and responsibility. Our program is designed to equip each child with the tools to succeed in our Kindergarten program.

Through biblically-based Horizons Preschool lessons, preschoolers will be introduced to social studies, language arts, math, phonics, science, health and safety, arts and crafts, music, and physical education. The hands-on activities are perfect for little bodies, while concepts are reinforced through games, songs, poems, and drama to prepare your preschooler for kindergarten-type games. Bible lessons, shapes, phonics, math, language arts, crafts, bring a wealth of new and exciting information that will engage young minds. Exercises will stretch thinking skills as they complete both creative assignments and factual problems.
