Our programs center around our mission statement of: Preparing Minds and Transforming Hearts.

Our curriculum enforces Biblical truths while our programs lead the way in early childhood development. Northwest Christian Schools’ Early Learning Preschool offers both age specific and multi-age classes with two to five day options for learning.

Staff

In our nurturing environment, children at Northwest Christian Schools’ Early Learning Preschool experience the love of Jesus Christ through guidance and encouragement of highly capable and caring teachers. Our programs are designed to meet the present needs of your child while preparing them for kindergarten and beyond.

Highly Committed Christian teachers provide numerous opportunities for growth and development. Children at this age learn best through play, and our dedicated teachers provide a fun, creative curriculum that meets each student’s needs.

Programs and Curriculum

With personalized attention in a productive environment, your child will quickly gain new skills to prepare him or her for the next stage of development. Our curriculum is driven by our Enduring Understandings. Our staff uses these principles as a guiding tool when planning curriculum. Everything we do focuses around these Biblical Truths:
