Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me..."

Matthew 19:14

At Eternal Hills Christian Preschool we develop the whole child: socially, intellectually, emotionally, spiritually and physically in a safe, welcoming and nurturing environment. Our toddlers are ages 12 months (independently walking) to 35 months. We know that learning happens because of play and is supported by exploration of the world around us. So, we focus on outdoor activities (hikes, outdoor play), sensory activities, music, stories, gross motor play and a variety of other enriching programs.

We have three groups of preschoolers; 2.5-3.5 (Ladybugs), 3.5-4 years of age (Caterpillars), and 4-5 years of age (Butterflies). Surrounded by love and creativity, our preschool children gain independence, build relationships, and develop fine and gross motor skills in a carefully designed age-appropriate environment.
