Walnut Hills Preschool
 |
A place where children really count! |
Our Mission
To provide a quality preschool for children and their
families in a nurturing Christian environment.
Preschool Goals
At Walnut Hills Preschool, we want all children to
discover that they are special individuals because God loves them, and that God
has given them a wonderful world to discover, explore, and in which to be
creative. It is also our goal to provide child appropriate, hands-on experiences
to help each child develop at his or her own rate in all areas of development-
social, emotional, physical and cognitive.
Parents are important to us
Parent involvement is a vital part
of our program.
We enjoy having parents & other family members visit and help in
the classroom.

theme and a children's book.
The typical day consists of following:
