ABOUT OUR TEACHERS
We love our teachers, and we think you will too! All of our preschool programs are taught by a certified head teacher (either Elementary, Early Childhood, Secondary, or CDA) and assistant teacher(s) with early childhood experience. Each member of our staff has been thoroughly screened before hiring, in order to provide a safe environment for your child.

Extended Care Program
Because many of our families need flexibility in the time they bring their children to and from school, we provide Extended Care, a before and/or after class option.
Children may be scheduled on a regular or occasional basis, as long as openings are available. Any child enrolled at Central Preschool and Kindergarten may be enrolled in Extended Care (however, please note that your child must be toilet trained in order to be enrolled in Extended Care). View all extended care policies.

Summer Fun Program
Our Summer Fun program is for children 3, 4 or 5 years old and those who have finished Kindergarten. (Previous preschool/large group experience is required for 3 year olds, and all children must be potty trained. Each Summer Fun session meets for three consecutive weeks on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9-11:30am.
Children who attend Summer Fun will explore summer-related subjects, such as the beach, fishing, bugs, BBQs, watermelon and ice cream! They will also enjoy exciting learning centers, sing-along time and Bible lessons. Outdoor water fun will help them cool off during hot summer days, and fun, theme-related snacks will round out a great morning.
