WELCOME TO

Welcome to Preschool!

We are so glad that you are here! First and foremost, we believe that our primary function here at Four Mile Preschool is to share God’s love with your children through a loving and accepting environment that models Christ in all relationships.

Our program is a non-profit early learning program that nurtures the spiritual, social, emotional, intellectual, creative and physical development of 3, 4, and 5 year old children.

Our class sizes are limited because we have one certified teacher per class and a teaching assistant – both of which are qualified in First Aid, CPR, as well as TLC (tender loving care). Each child is taught that he or she is special with their own unique talents and gifts and each child is handled with respect and love. 

To enroll in a class, please see below.

What is Transitional Kindergarten?

Learning Concepts:

We continually adjust and improve our learning concepts for our Transitional Kindergarten (TK) Program. We strive to give children the freedom they need to learn to be creative and grow at their own developmental pace. Children need to be shown guidelines while assuring them of their uniqueness and helping them to know and show God’s love. He made them and He doesn’t make any mistakes, so they are proof of individual needs and acceptance. We believe these children simply need time to develop the social maturity needed to succeed in kindergarten. They generally are not lacking in academic skills, but each year we evaluate each child and the classroom needs. Each activity falls under one of the umbrellas listed below to ensure we are concentrating on the needed areas of development. Our program provides students with the gift of time and experience that ensures a successful educational journey.
