Never Too Early To Focus On Academics & Faith.

Our preschool is just as focused as our grade school on growing both the mind and the heart. Just as important, our curriculum is purposefully structured to seamlessly position children for our kindergarten and elementary grade levels.

Bunny Class (2 years old)

Introduces children to the rhythms of school in a nurturing, faith-filled environment.

  • Children build trust as they adjust to time away from caregivers.
  • Language skills grow through songs, stories, and simple group routines.
  • Fine motor skills develop through hands-on play—beads, blocks, peg boards, and sensory bins.
  • Daily outdoor play builds strength and coordination with climbing, trike riding, running, and exploring.
  • Social learning begins with parallel play, teacher-supported turn-taking, and sharing.
  • Music is part of daily routines, with special classes twice a month; rest time offers a calm space to recharge.
  • Faith is introduced through short prayers, blessings, and learning they are loved by God.

It’s such a beautiful, faith-filled community that really is something so very special.
