Welcome to Little Seedlings Christian Preschool and Kindergarten!

Our Philosophy

It is our goal to provide your child with a complete developmental experience within an environment of Christian love and care.

While attending Little seedlings, your child will be encouraged to grow...

Spiritually - through Bible stories with real-life application and through building his/her relationship with God.

Intellectually - through age-appropriate lessons teaching numbers, letters, colors, shapes, calendar, name recognition, reading and pre-reading skills, and more;

Physically - by providing opportunities to develop small motor skills through the use of manipulatives and tools, large motor skills through organized games and physical activities.

Socially - by growing interaction skills with other children, teaching politeness and respect of others; and

Emotionally - by encouraging independent thought and building each child''s self-confidence.

We recognize and respect that each child grows at his/her own pace. Your child will be encouraged to participate to the best of his/her ability and will receive positive reinforcement for his/her effort.
