Parkcrest Preschool

About

Welcome!

Our desire is to be an instrumental part of your child’s early development. I believe preschool is such an important, positive way to introduce a colorful variety of lessons and experiences that encourage children and families alike to learn, connect, and grow. As teachers, administrators, and parents working together, we can lay solid foundations that promote learning and build character, establish feelings of self-worth and accomplishment, and cultivate a relationship with Jesus.

We pride ourselves on the “family-feel” of our preschool and love the relationships that have grown here.
