The theme song and backdrop for our class is "Jesus loves me." The goal of our class is to show our students that learning can be fun and joyful while preparing them for Kindergarten.

To reach out to families in our community to share the love of God and the respect and caring of one another through the children interacting in our school setting is something that will always be fulfilling to me.

Our Program

The curriculum used at Cornerstone Christian Preschool will reflect our values embracing unconditional love, respect and social justice for all human life. A Christian atmosphere will be created through prayer and acts of caring. Bible stories will come alive through music, posters, flannelgraphs and puppets. They will learn to explore their own creativity through art, dance and creative play. Above all, we strive to provide a “fun” learning environment for children. Cornerstone Christian Preschool does not discriminate in the enrollment of children upon the basis of race, color, creed, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, or family composition.
