Preschool at Grace Christian School offers the 3 and 4 year old an opportunity to prepare for Kindergarten.  Students will progress from introductory concepts at the 3 year old level to reading readiness activities, phonics, and math concepts for the 4 year old. 
 
Grace Christian School:
1. Provides Christian training at a highly impressionable age.
2. Shows the child God's love and guides the child in ways of showing that love
3. Helps the child develop competence in problem solving.
4. Develops the child's social skills
5. Provides a positive school experience in preparation for Kindergarten.
 
The preschool child is in a very important phase of life. These are crucial years when attitudes, as well as motor patterns, are formed. Preschoolers are encouraged in the following four areas: Fine Motor, Gross Motor, Language, and Social-Personal Development.
 
Preschool children MUST be the appropriate age by December 1st, to enroll at GCS, provided that they meet the necessary requirements
