Children must be 3 or 4 by September 1st to be accepted into the appropriate class.  4s class size is 12 (AM) and 3s class size is 12.

Our goal is to provide preschool aged children with a secure, loving Christian environment where they may grow physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively.  Using developmentally appropriate practices, the children will participate in theme-based hands-on activities that will give them the opportunity to explore, discover, imagine and create while building confidence and independence.

What will AWB Preschool provide for your child?
A place to develop an attitude of thoughtfulness and consideration of others in a diverse setting.
A chance to assert independence and assume responsibility by performing self-care tasks & doing class jobs.
A basic understanding of numbers, letters, colors and shapes.
An opportunity to develop communication and language skills in groups and one-to-one.
An outlet for self-expression and creativity through art, music, and dramatic play.
A chance to gain coordination and physical fitness in the gym.
A safe place to transition from home to elementary school by learning skills like walking in line, raising hands, taking turns, self-care, being part of a group, and making friends.
