Services
The North Branch Reformed Church Preschool offers a Christian-based program focusing on the emotional, social, physical, intellectual, and spiritual needs of every child. We offer morning and extended day programs. The Preschool opens at 9am each morning, closes at varied times, and serves children ages 2 to 6 years old.
Little Lambs is a one-hour Introduction to Preschool class being offered to children ages 2 to 3 years old on Thursdays at 9-10am or 11am-12pm. A parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, or babysitter will accompany the child for the entire hour as they learn about themes like Friends, Seasons, Colors, Shapes, Letters and Numbers.
For many of our students, this is their first time being away from home. Our warm-hearted teachers are ready to welcome your child into their class. The three year old program focuses mainly on social skills and recognition of the basics. Through a balance of both small group centers and large group activities our students learn how to be a good friend, kind, considerate of others, and learn self-help skills.
Children can also extend their day with Enrichment Classes until 1pm or the Extended Day Class until 2pm. Class size is either 2:14 or 2:16, depending on the size of the classroom, which is below the 1:12 state ratio. Our Fruits of the Spirit Christian curriculum includes monthly bible stories, themes, colors, and shapes.
Our preschool students can extend there learning with one of our many enrichment classes listed below. After their morning class students eat a home-packed, peanut/nut-free lunch and stay for a special class. Children are eligible to attend Enrichment Classes if they're enrolled in one of our 2-day, 3-day, or 5-day programs.
