Caring for the Mind and Heart

Elk Plain Christian Preschool and Kindergarten offers five classes for children 3, 4, and 5 years of age. Each class offers a child the opportunity to learn and grow with other children their age. It is our goal to provide children with a well balanced experience that will help lay a foundation for their years ahead. Through a variety of activities, projects and active play the children learn many new skills and build confidence. Each class is designed to prepare the child by developing age-appropriate knowledge and skills in the following areas:
