Northview Preschool

Our goal is to provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment where children learn and grow. We provide a time for active play, imaginative play and learning through educational activities, curriculum and games. We aim to maintain a minimum teacher-to-children ratio at a minimum cost to families.

Our program is designed to invest in your child by:

enhancing positive self-esteem in your child and building his or her independence
preparing each child educationally with age-appropriate academics
stimulating physical development by providing challenging small- and large-muscle activities
encouraging positive social interaction with their peers
helping them to naturally experience God’s presence in his or her life each day
