ABOUT US
Our Approach
Parkcrest Preschool has passionately served families and young children in our community with quality, Christ-centered preschool education since 1973.
We believe that preschool should be a thoughtful balance of foundational learning, developmental growth, and tons of fun! With that in mind, we've created a program for preschoolers to connect, feel safe, and thrive.
But Parkcrest Preschool is more than excellent education. It's more than quality child care. It's also intentional family care. It's support for parents raising young children. It's a community.

"If I could leave 10 stars I would! Our 4 year old smiles and dances all the way from our car to the classroom he's that excited."

"You can tell the staff and teachers really care and love kids. Today they celebrated my daughter's birthday and made her feel so special. It's really sweet to see my shy kid come out of her shell."
