About

Welcome!

Our desire is to be an instrumental part of your child’s early development.

We believe preschool is a joyful and meaningful way to introduce children—and their families—to a colorful variety of lessons and experiences that encourage them to learn, connect, and grow.

By working together as teachers, administrators, and parents, we can lay strong foundations that promote learning, build character, instill a sense of self-worth and accomplishment, and help children cultivate a relationship with Jesus.

We’re proud of the “family feel” at Parkcrest Preschool and deeply value the relationships that grow here.
