Our preschool program is a light in our school. It brings sunshine every day. We have threes, fours and young fives. We have about 100 preschoolers and the different programs that we have really do introduce kids to school.
I would often see them at the beginning of the day and it was a free play. Come on in, welcome, find a station where you'd like to go and explore.
Mom, we have one more letter to learn.
Do you? Which letter?

Preschool teachers were out first experience of the staff here. They're here because they truly love the kids. And they not only want to teach them educationally but spiritually.
He's in a smaller class which actually really has it's benefits. Tons of one on one and it's very rare to have that small of class.
Our oldest kid did go to another preschool at threes. What stuck out when she moved here at fours was the amount of work that the preschool teachers put in. You're like, wow your room is totally different again today. At the other preschool she was at, they didn’t have that.
The preschool staff is a wonderful group of people who love their children and can think of fun things to do making learning hardly noticeable however, significant learning is taking place.
Their academics can stand up and compete with anybody in the area. They're teaching them things at threes and fours and I didn't think they'd get to that stuff until, you know, kindergarten.
The amount of work and time and effort and energy they put into every little curriculum for them, it’s amazing.
Yes they are learning about their colors and their numbers and even just spiritually how starting at such an early age how that influences a student.
You'd walk in and you'd just see a whole bunch of these kids playing. Then they would circle up and they would start singing songs and it’s just really cool because they're learning how to praise God.
There are a lot of parents who walked in here with three and four year old who never intended to stay beyond that who have and that's because of the community.
It was a really easy transition going from preschool to kindergarten. And it was a great stepping stone for us. He had a really great experience, learned a lot.
From our kid's experience, they make just bonds and friendships with kids that I think they'll have forever .
We made the decision to put our kids here at Ada Christian. When they're going to spend that much time around all these teachers and other kids, we want to make sure that they're getting the right influence. So that the foundation is where we want it to be when it's time for them to leave our house and go out into the big world on their own. And we feel good about that.
