EXTENDED CARE FOR PRESCHOOL AND PRE-KINDERGARTEN

Valley Christian School now offers daily child care between 6:30 AM and 6:00 PM for three and four-year olds who are also enrolled in Valley Christian School's Preschool or Pre-Kindergarten classes. This extended care program features a curriculum with art, music, specialty interests, and enrichment activities. In addition, nutritious lunches and snakcs are provided. We trust this will be a service to parents who may have a need for full-time care for their children and desire to have them in a safe, loving, Christian learning environment.

Preschool and Pre-Kindergarten classes emphasize balanced growth in the spiritual, academic, physical, and social development of the child. Bible stories, numbers, letters, fine and gross motor skills, and social interaction skills are taught in fun, creative ways. Pre-Kindergarten features units such as marine life, plants, and seasonal and holiday themes.

Preschool classes meet from 8:45-10:45 AM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Children who are three years old and potty-trained by August 31 are eligible for the Preschool program.

Pre-Kindergarten classes meet on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 8:45-11:30 AM or 12:15-3:00 PM. Children must be four years old by August 31 to be eligible for the Pre-Kindergarten program.
