Preschool
BCS Preschool is a 3 day program that will meet any child’s needs. We are focused on getting your child ready for Kindergarten, all while teaching them about God’s love for him/her. Your child will interact in large groups, small groups and one on one with the teacher. Every week we have a theme, focused Bible story, memory verse, letter and number, all while building your child socially, emotionally, and physically.
