  1. $499,043 spent. We are a faith based preschool who serves children ages 2-5 years old in a part time manner. (Our hours are from 9am-2pam) Our school is housed in our church building and an extension of our church. Our focus is everything is all about the kids; everything we do focuses on what is best for the children in our program. Our purpose is to build the child and prepare them for their early education and road of learning continued in both school and work through their lives. We have a structured spiraled curriculum based on developmentally appropriate activities; taught in fun and encouraging ways. We provide an intellectual, social, religious environment that will benefit all children, their families, and the community. We realize that all children are unique and develop at different rates: so the program is designed to focus on each child and meet them where they are. Objectives are designed to focus on socialization and basic motor skills to reading and writing readiness skills. Through play based learning, social interaction and teacher modeling, we help the child grow in mind, body and spirit. The students also attend special music and movement classes. Our program is offered 2,3, and 4 days a week based on age of the child. We do not have extended hours.
