“We have been more than pleased with the preschool experience. Eva has actually said that she loves that she gets to go to church and learn about Jesus at school. Simple choice from there.” – Sarah, current parent
Our Mission

Christ the Divine Teacher Preschool is dedicated to the development of the Whole Child. The mission of our Preschool is to provide each child with vast opportunities to explore and learn; to help them reach their full potential. We provide a safe and secure Christ-centered environment where respect for self and others is emphasized.
Preschoolers visit the school library, computer lab, and Divine Artworks Center to engage in a variety of ways. They also participate in physical education classes, as well as field trips and educational assemblies. We provide a safe and secure environment where respect for self and others is emphasized. At Christ the Divine Teacher, we strive to:
- Help our children feel secure in making the transition from home to school
- Inspire a love for learning in preparation for kindergarten
- Foster the natural curiosity that is innate in every child
- Instill in children a love of God and appreciation for His gifts
Our Staff
Our caring and qualified teachers motivate the children to develop self-expression, auditory listening skills and motor skills within a nurturing environment full of energy, imagination, music, dance and creative play.
