In order to assist parents in Christian training of their children, our church established Christ the King Preschool. The preschool staff considers itself a helper in the task of nurturing a child’s growth and development. To accomplish this, the following objectives direct our preschool program:
1. To provide a Christian atmosphere.
2. To lead the child to know his/her Lord Jesus Christ, the wonder of his creation and his plan of salvation.
3. To help the child display Christian love to others.
4. To help the child becomes a good steward of his/her time, gifts, and talents.
5. To broaden the child’s spiritual, mental, social, physical, and emotional growth.
6. To provide the child with many opportunities for work and play within group situations.
7. To follow the child’s progress in all phases of growth through observation and through communication with parents.
Please share the preschool tract with friends, neighbors, or relatives. We are taking registrations for fall 2008.
