HOPE CHRISTIAN PRESCHOOL

We are so excited to offer new opportunities for the 2013-2014 school year at Hope Christian Preschool.  We have expanded our program to not only meet the needs for stay-at-home parents but are also striving to meet the needs of working families.

At Hope Christian Preschool (3-5 year olds) we "Love Your Children Into Learning".  The three/four year old class is for any child that has two years left before entering Kindergarten (depending on their birth date).  The four/five year old class is for any child that has one year left before entering Kindergarten (also depending on their birth date).  To help us be most successful and focus on your child's learning, it is strongly recommended that your child be potty-trained. (Please inquire further about our requirements if you have questions regarding this.)

We provide a biblically-based, well-rounded, quality preschool education in a loving environment and believe that your child is a gift of the Lord, created with unique strengths, interests and needs.  We are honored to be an extension of your family and to partner with you in seeing your child reach new heights in their developmental journey!  We provide an active, fun-filled environment to help your child develop socially, academically and spiritually.

Our student ratio will be no greater than 8 to 1 in our early childhood program and 9-1 in our Pre-K program.

We are committed to sharing Christ's love with your child in a safe and nurturing environment as we provide a developmentally appropriate curriculum that teaches the whole child.
