Evangel Christian Academy
Early Childhood Department

Serving the educational needs of the community since 1980.

Our Philosophy

The spiritual, emotional, social, intellectual and physical nurturing of a child is an ongoing process which is especially crucial during the early childhood years.

It is for this reason that we desire to minister to families of preschool children; helping them to mold the qualities of trust in God, security, self-respect and respect of others, as the child gains independence and moves through the various stages of development.

We believe that each child is made in the image of God. Each is a unique and special person who develops at his own rate of growth.

Enrollment Options

Children ages three, four and five may be enrolled in a variety of options designed to meet the needs of the family. The preschool provides a nine month, three morning per week (M/W/F) or two morning per week (T/TH) program from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m.

In addition, we offer a morning Pre-Kindergarten program. This class is specially designed for those children who will be five years old by September 30, and who may not yet be ready for Kindergarten.

Our Objectives

• Appropriate play experiences to foster the child's spiritual, social, emotional intellectual and physical growth

• A loving atmosphere of supervised play, basic academics, basic curriculum, music appreciation, art and fine motor activities

• A source of support and encouragement to parents in the nurturing of their preschool age children.

• Before and after school programs for preschool and elementary students

• Flexible hours and rates to accommodate families with varied schedules.

The preschool and Extended Care program follows the same calendar as Evangel Christian Academy
