Our Program

Curriculum: The Chestnut Grove Preschool three and five day programs include Christian Education, Science, Math, Language Development and Literacy, Music, Art, and Social Sciences. Play is the manner in which children learn best in early childhood education and is an important element of the Preschool program. Individual and group activities will provide an atmosphere for learning and growth. Math and language skills are further developed through the use of games and circle time activities. Daily music and art projects foster creativity and imagination. Bible lessons and Chapel Time broaden Biblical understanding and provide a Christian faith foundation.
