Our Goals

  • Healthy Environment

    Providing a happy, safe, and healthy environment in which children can play, learn, and grow.

  • Love

    Sharing the love of God through Christ with children, families, and the community.

  • Understanding

    Enabling parents to understand their children better and be more effective in their parenting role.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum includes learning about God’s word through prayer and stories. Early literacy and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) concepts are taught through science, math, and social studies activities, and learning about shapes, colors, numbers, and letters. Daily activities include circle time, singing, art, gross motor activities, learning centers, and snacks.

 

Learning Through Play

We play a lot. We believe that play is an important part of learning. When children play with purpose, they learn about themselves and the world around them. During our play time, children make friends, learn social skills, look at books, use building materials, share, explore how things work, listen to music, and play cooperatively.

Our Staff

Our staff at Mt. Zion Christian Preschool are certified in first aid and CPR. In addition, they participate in ongoing professional development through classes, workshops, and conferences throughout the year.

Mt. Zion Christian Preschool is also a nondenominational preschool. This means we welcome children from all religious affiliations. We do not discriminate based on race, sex, religion, color, national, or ethnic origin.

Our MSDE License number is 43250.
