Our goal and vision as a school is to prepare our students to be prepared spiritually, physically, academically, socially and emotionally for the next stages of life. When they leave our school we want them to go out and be leaders and be fully equipped in all of these areas above.
What makes us unique: We are one of the only true Preschools in the area (not a Daycare). We offer a loving Christian preschool environment that focuses on a learn through play environment that teaches the students to gain independence, allows for social/emotional interaction in small group and large group settings. Has a brand new state of the art playground and is warm and inviting to families.

Transitional Kindergarten program - This is a 5 day program for students who have finished the VPK program but are not quite ready for the Kindergarten classes. Some of the reason might include but are not limited to:
- Age: having a late birthday
- Social/Emotional growth: Wanting more time to develop this
- Academics: Wanting more focalized attention on this in a smaller environment
- Pace of learning: We love that we have the freedom to control the pace of how we learn and teach.
-Smaller classes: We cap our class at 15 students with a Lead and an Assistant.
- More individual student focus: By only having 15 students, we are able to give each child more attention for things like fine motor development and table work.
We offer before care with a cap of 9 students from 8am to 9am.
- Personalized end of the year portfolios: Each child ends the year with a binder of memories from work created to pictures with friends for life long memories.
