A Heritage
At Southeast Christian Preschool, we believe children are a gift from God. Preschool provides a warm, loving, and nurturing atmosphere where children can thrive. Children learn through age-appropriate practices modeled at home and school. Parents are the primary educators partnering with this preschool to provide for individual needs and learning styles.
During these early years, children are taught that God is the Creator of all things and that He has a deep and powerful love for all His children. It is our goal that during this brief but important time in your child’s life, the stage will be set for a lifetime love of learning built on spiritual principles.
- Registration fees are per family, non-refundable, and due annually.
- All program changes (reductions/withdrawals) after enrollment are subject to a $50 change fee.
