Preschool Programs (2 years old - Pre-K):
We strive to create an environment that helps each child become aware that they are loved and are of infinite worth. We acknowledge the individual rate and pattern of growth in each child; we have designed our development curriculum to compliment the predictable stages of early childhood. Children will visit a variety of meaningful themes through art, literature and creative play. We believe that play is the work of the young child. Our school creates an environment which allows children to grow mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

As a Christian school, We at Glenoaks Schools believe in setting aside time out of the week to worship the Lord. Once a week, our students go to the Chapel to worship God, sing praises, learn about the Bible, enjoy fun skits and plays, and much more! Through Chapel, our students will be able to grow in their faith in God and become stronger and more knowledgeable about Christianity.
