Our Mission

The Hope

Proverbs 9: 9 & 10 tells us to “Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

Central Baptist Preschool & Kindergarten is dedicated to providing Biblical growth and preparation for entry into public or private schools to children from 6 weeks to six years old. Our Program is structured to provide growth in each child's development…

Spirituality
The Program is designed at the core to help each child gain knowledge of God, His wonder, love and creativity.
Physically
Indoor and outdoor play (both structured and unstructured) will help each child gain physical strength and develop motor skills.
Mentally
By giving opportunities for self-expression, investigation and participation in group activities, each child will increase in knowledge of the world God has made and how to live in it. Our goal is to promote the processing of information and to motivate learning so that each child understands they are fearfully and wonderfully made.
Socially
Each child will learn to work and play with children. Each will learn to respect the personal property rights of others, and to express kindness, courteousness, and consideration toward others.
Emotionally
Teachers will assist each child to mature in reaction to emotional situations and in the expression of emotional responses in a Christ- like manner.
