- Early Explorers (Early Preschool: 2 years) – Introducing structured learning routines with a focus on early literacy, basic math concepts, and social-emotional development.
- Growing Minds (Preschool: 3 years) – Building language, problem-solving, and pre-reading skills while fostering independence and creativity.
- Pathfinders (Pre-Kindergarten: Must be 4 years old by Sept. 1st) – Preparing children for kindergarten readiness with an emphasis on phonics, early writing, and foundational math, all within a faith-based learning environment.
- Future Scholars (Kindergarten: Must be 5 years old by Sept. 1st) – Strengthening literacy, numeracy, and critical thinking skills, ensuring a smooth transition into elementary education while nurturing a strong moral and spiritual foundation.
Each group is designed to meet children where they are developmentally, providing individualized learning experiences that promote growth, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
