MCCA's Preschool serves 3 and 4-year-olds. This allows the 3-year-olds to step out and learn from their older peers, and teaches 4-year-olds leadership skills and helping others. We offer full and half days, as well as full and part-time attendance. 

We like to learn and celebrate different holidays with parties for Christmas, Easter, Mother’s Day, and Valentine's Day.  One highlight is our annual Thanksgiving program and luncheon with our parents. The focus is on serving each other before the busyness of the Christmas holidays.  Preschool students work hard to learn songs and complete a special family project that we proudly display at the event.  The whole family is important!

Our students look forward to visits from the fire department and police officers. We go on field trips and love experiencing new things. There is so much joy learning about God’s world together!

At the end of the year, there is a ceremony to recognize the progress of all of our preschool students, during which we celebrate those students who are graduating to Kindergarten.
Mission
Our mission is to provide a safe, structured, and Christ-centered atmosphere for children so that they can learn, grow, and be filled with the joy of Jesus Christ. We want the children to know that they are loved for who they are!
​Is My Child Ready for Preschool? 
Students must turn 3 by September 30th, and be fully potty trained to be eligible to enroll in preschool.  



​What to Expect  
Each week we focus on a Bible story that teaches students how to live in a world that needs Jesus. Our play centers are changed monthly to keep them fresh and exciting. They incorporate the monthly theme. We learn and practice motor skills using scissors, pencils, crayons, crafts, and painting with Q-tips.
Schedule
Approximately 15 minutes is invested into each subject. There are breaks, outdoor activities, and free play times in between to keep students active and engaged. The whole child is important to us. Classroom aides accompany each content area as well as the full-time classroom teachers.  Half-day students dismiss at 12:30 PM, and full-day students have lunch and nap prior to packing up for full-day dismissal at 3:00 PM.  Subjects Include:
