We have had a very busy and exciting month in preschool, filled with meaningful learning experiences, creativity, and hands-on exploration. It has been a joy to watch our students grow, engage, and discover new things each day!


During March is Reading Month, we welcomed a mystery reader into our classroom each day. The children looked forward to this special time, eagerly trying to guess who the reader would be before they arrived. From parents to special guests, each visitor brought stories to life in a unique way. This not only made reading fun and engaging but also helped foster a love for books and storytelling in our classroom.


We also celebrated Dr. Seuss’s birthday with a week full of imaginative activities. The children created colorful crafts inspired by his books and even made and tasted green eggs and ham! Many were unsure at first, but their curiosity quickly turned into excitement as they tried something new. It was a wonderful way to explore creativity, build confidence, and step into the silly and imaginative world of Dr. Seuss.


Another highlight of the month was a visit from Wildlife Safari. The children were amazed to see a variety of animals up close, including chinchillas, snakes, owls, and even a kangaroo! They listened carefully, asked great questions, and were especially excited to have the opportunity to gently pet some of the animals. Experiences like this bring learning to life and help children develop a sense of wonder about the world around them.

Preschool registration for the fall is now open! If you or someone you know is interested in our program, please stop by the office to schedule a tour and learn more about all that our preschool has to offer.

Growing, Learning, and Exploring God’s World
Our preschool has had a busy and exciting season filled with meaningful learning and joyful discovery! As we wrapped up March, our classrooms focused on the true meaning of Easter. Through engaging Bible stories, thoughtful discussions, and creative hands-on arts and crafts, the children explored the incredible truth of Jesus’ resurrection. It has been a blessing to watch them begin to understand what Jesus’ love and victory over the grave mean for each of us. As we moved into April, our focus shifted to the fascinating world of insects and farm animals. The excitement in the classroom has been contagious as students learn about different creatures, their habitats, and how God has uniquely created each one. From buzzing bees to friendly farm animals, the children have been actively engaged through stories, activities, and imaginative play. To bring our animal unit to life, we are especially excited for our upcoming field trip to a real-life farm! This hands-on experience will give students the opportunity to milk cows, ride horses, and feed baby animals. It’s sure to be a memorable day filled with learning, laughter, and new experiences that connect directly to what they’ve been studying in the classroom. As we look ahead, we are now enrolling for the fall at our Early Learning Center. While our GSRP program is currently full, we still have a few openings available in our tuition-based program. We offer flexible part-time options that are perfect for introducing your child to a school setting—where they can learn, play, grow in their faith, and build lasting friendships. We also have a limited number of spots remaining in our full-day program. If you are considering preschool for your child, we would love to connect with you. Call our office today to schedule a tour and see firsthand what makes our preschool such a special place. We would be honored to welcome your family into our preschool community!
