Our programs:
3 year old class: Children must turn 3 by September 1st. Learning objectives are met and introduced according to the child’s stage of development.
4 year old class: Children must turn 4 by September 1st. This program is intended for children entering Kindergarten the following year with at least one year of preschool or group experience. There is an emphasis on school readiness in a developmentally-appropriate matter.
Pre–K: Children must turn 5 by Jan. 31st. This program is intended for children with one or two years of preschool experience or for children who are not quite ready for Kindergarten. Children enrolled in this program must be entering Kindergarten the following school year. Themes and objectives are still met with the child’s development in mind.

Business Review
One of our parents recently said:
"My daughter attended Advent Christian Preschool for the past 2 years. What stands out the most about Advent is the nurturing, caring and family environment. My daughter and I felt comfortable almost instantly and she enjoyed going to school. The teachers really get to know the students and encourage them to learn and grow in their own unique ways. I saw a tremendous social and academic growth in my daughter. She is ready and excited to start Kindergarten this Fall. Her younger sister is now starting in the 3 year old class and we are thrilled to be able to continue at Advent.”
