We are a traditional half-day preschool with a balance of preschool-appropriate structure and play-based learning. We believe that a child learns best through hands-on intentional play. Our dedicated teachers work hard to present fun, interactive opportunities for the children each day in a small class size setting. We also believe that helping a child develop their heart and sense of community is as important as learning their letters and shapes. Our daily lesson plans include Biblical and academic curriculum. Through these valuable lessons, we aim to help the children build their social, emotional, behavioral, and communication skills that are needed to thrive in their future classrooms. Since 1989, we have strived to provide a loving, Christ-centered environment where we can partner with parents to set a positive foundation of learning for each child who attends. We offer flexible before and after school enrichment programs in addition to our regular school day. For more information please visit out website at https://www.coolpreschool.com/.
