welcome cougar cubs!

As a parent prepares for the education of their children, the decision is paramount; who will best equip your child for the future? The preschool years are essential for your child's development, and what a better place for that growth than at Calvary Christian Preschool. CCS offers your child an education in a Christ-centered environment that goes beyond textbook learning; we embrace and enjoy the fact that the youngest learners absorb through a multi-sensory approach to education. Through both self-directed and teacher-directed activities, your child will experience education with their five senses, thriving in an environment of creativity.

our mission

The mission of Calvary Christian School's Preschool Program is to serve families by providing a safe, loving, Christian environment in which their preschool child can discover, explore, and learn about themselves, others, and the God who created them and the world they were made to enjoy.
