About King's Christian Preschool
Our Mission
To provide the best quality care for children in an atmosphere where they are welcome, wanted, valued and appreciated. While in our care we are committed to seeing them grow physically, emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually.
Our Philosophy
Children are a gift from God. They have been instilled with natural qualities we want to nuture, such as; curiosity, boundless energy, an amazing ability to love, a desire to touch and explore the world around them. Using all their senses, we hope to develop the whole being of the child; in mind, body and soul.

We believe in fostering a nurturing environment where every child receives individualized attention. Our low teacher-to-student ratios are:
- Toddlers: 1:6
- Preschool and TK: 1:12
These small class sizes allow our dedicated teachers to provide one-on-one instruction, build strong relationships with each child, and create a supportive learning community.

If your child enrolls in our toddler classroom we work with the parents when the child is ready to start potty training. We create a plan with the parents that supports success at home and school. To enroll in any of our preschool classrooms or Tk program your child must be fully potty trained.
- Safety for our students is a top priority at King’s Christian Preschool.
- Low Student-to-Teacher Ratios: We maintain small class sizes to allow for close supervision and individualized attention.
