Our philosophy at ABC is to teach:
 
  
Fundamental skills in an 
Understanding and caring environment in order to
Nurture social, emotional, and intellectual growth in a Christian atmosphere.
 
 
 
 
 
The acrostic spells FUN because we want all children to have fun while they are
preschoolers.  Playing is an essential part of learning for children.  It gives them the tools for interaction socially and as individuals.
 
 
By using a variety of weekly themes combined with age appropriate activities, ABC offers many opportunities for learning and   development through play including arts and crafts, center time, stories, music and movement, recreation, and many other activities. Through these opportunities, preschoolers learn basic concepts of language, science, math and social studies in addition to social skills and interation. 
 
 
 
For tuition and fees and classes offered, please see the current registration form which may be obtained by calling 985-7955 or by stopping by the church/school office.  ABC takes pride in its low child to teacher ratio.  ABC has been called cozy and caring because of our small class  sizes and our loving teachers.
 
 
 ABC takes pride in our low child to teacher ratio:
 
Toddlers  -  4:1 with a max of 8:2
Two's  -  4:1 with a max of 8:2
Three's  -  8:1 with a max of 9:1. 
Four's  -  10:1
 
 
  
 
At ABC Preschool your child will experience a variety of fun and educational activities in a safe and caring environment.  The preschoolers will enjoy Chapel with pastors from the church.  Every week the preschoolers will have 30 minutes of fun in Music and Movement class.  The 3s and 4s use Weekly Reader in their classrooms.  We offer Spanish class for the 4 year old classes  -  30 minutes each week - at no additional cost.
 
 

You will have the opportunity to enroll you child ages 3 and 4 in Computer with Compuquest and/or Gymnastics for an additional fee.
 
ABC encourages parent involvement through the Story Parent Program, as well as on field trips and as party parents.  We love it when parents come in to read or to share their hobbies!

 

 
Each Spring ABC raises funds for St. Jude Children's Hospital while raising awareness of bicycle safety for our children, by hosting the St. Jude Trike-A-Thon!  During the year the 3s and 4s will take a couple of field trips.  In recent years we have gone to Buds Best Cookies and Josies Farm in Hayden.  The Hoover Firemen visit our school each year during Fire Safety Week.
