The Life Way preschool program is designed to develop in each student social and spiritual strengths, gross and fine motor skills, as well as number and letter recognition. Students are encouraged to develop their communications skills, as well as everyday life skills. God's truth is biblically integrated into each area taught. The curriculum incorporates lessons that promote comprehension and interaction. The desired overall learning experience focuses on understanding material and developing a love for Jesus Christ and for learning. Life Way Preschool considers it a privilege to partner with parents to instill a clear understanding of who God is and His love for His children as well as in preparing them for kindergarten.

Enriching Experiences for Preschoolers
At Life Way Christian School, our preschoolers enjoy a variety of enriching activities beyond the classroom. Each week, children participate in chapel, recess, music, and library time, helping them grow spiritually, socially, and creatively.
Throughout the year, students also have the opportunity to perform in two special programs—a Thanksgiving celebration and an End-of-Year performance—where families are warmly invited to attend and celebrate their child’s growth.
