Programs for Children Ages 6 weeks through 8 years:
Small classes allow our staff to provide personal attention to every child, and good character is taught through daily teachings of God's Word. Programs at Noah's Ark include half-day preschool, kindergarten and before and after care for children 6 weeks through 8 years of age. Our year-round program begins at 7:00 a.m. and ends at 6:00 p.m.

Half-day preschool (Under Two):
Vocabulary will be part of our infant's daily lives. Their teachers will communicate with them, focusing on objects and the sounds they make. Babies love to hear the sound a pig or dog makes. Babies also love to explore, touching, smelling and looking at everything that comes into view. Our infant and toddler classroom is full of fun and engaging toys, puzzles and books. In fact, we will be rocking and reading lots of books! Children will also have the opportunity to explore the books on their own and with their friends.

Half-day preschool (2 & 3 Year Olds):
The “A Beka and High Reach” curriculums for two and three year olds, introduce concepts that build literacy through stories, music, books, creative movement and art. Concepts and skills are introduced as appropriate to each child’s stage of development.

Half-day preschool (4 Year Olds):
Our 4-year-old program lays the foundation for a successful education, providing a positive learning and growing experience. The program strives to meet the individual needs of the student in their physical, cognitive, social and spiritual development.

Kindergarten (5 Year Olds):
The “A Beka” cirriculum guides teachers in areas such as phonics, science, history, poetry, art, and physical education."Skills development is designed to develop skills needed for a childs' physical , mental, social, and personal growth," Five year olds are eager to learn and their parents are delighted with their achievement,which is made possible through smaller classes and the use of aides when needed. Field trips, the Christmas musical, and the graduation ceremony are all part of a wonderful kindergarten year. The A Beka "Readiness Skills" book reinforces visual perception motor coordination and listening/thinking skills.

Before and After Care:
County school buses servicing Loch Lomand and Yorkshire elementary schools service Noah's Ark Christian School, picking children up at our facility before school and dropping them off at our facility after school. This allows peace of mind for parents/guardians whose work schedules are different from most schools.
