St. John’s Preschool

About Our Program

St. John’s Preschool is committed to providing quality early education in a nurturing Christian environment where each child can grow and develop intellectually, socially, physically, and spiritually while instilling an enthusiasm for learning and an appreciation for God’s diverse creation.

Since 1965, more than 3,500 children have begun their learning experience in the classrooms at St. John’s Preschool.  We have a dedicated team of teachers and leaders.  The preschool provides foundational education and socialization programs for children ages two years and six months through five years and 11 months. The program provides music, art, reading, and math, along with spiritual and cultural learning.  We’re looking for preschoolers who like to learn, play, paint, read, color, sing, dance, and participate in a variety of other enrichment activities.  An outdoor play area is available for the children’s use.
