Woodside Preschool
But Jesus called the children to Him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Luke 18:16
The mission of Woodside Preschool is to provide a fully integrated preschool based on biblical values. Providing a caring, nurturing environment, we seek to develop the child’s spiritual, social and emotional growth, as well as their physical and mental development, so as to prepare each child for a successful transition into kindergarten. Through the use of carefully planned projects and materials, we strive to develop listening skills, lengthen attention span and foster social development.
Our daily sessions include: circle time, free play, small and gross motor activities, and dramatic play. The weekly schedule includes gym and chapel time. Our caring environment and developmental programs are administered by a professional staff, whose goal is to foster a positive school experience in a fun learning environment.
Preschool will be in session inside of Woodside Bible Church. The school year begins in September and ends in May.
