Christ the King offers a 3-year-old preschool program for children 3 years of age by August 1. Children must be fully potty-trained before August 1 as well. The program is half-days from 8 am - 11 am with an optional Lunch Bunch (lunch and recess) until 12 pm. Lunch Bunch students must bring a lunch from home. The program is offered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays with the option of 3 days a week or 2 days a week.

At Christ the King School we believe in providing a Christian environment of learning, prayer, and play. We believe that children are capable and eager learners. We support their need for hands-on, meaningful activities and are advocates for the importance of play. Through play, children learn the rules of society; they work out emotional problems and develop imagination. In play, children learn how to share, to negotiate, to collaborate and how other people feel; they formulate, test and revise theories about the world around them. While they play, they are masters of their own world — they are in charge. We consider these years critical, not only for the world of knowledge waiting to be learned, but because basic attitudes are being formed — about their world, people with whom they are in contact, and most of all, about themselves.

Each child is valued and respected as a person. We are committed to helping children learn problem-solving skills, to become responsible for actions taken and to develop increased control over body and mind. Emphasis is on the whole child. Our staff, composed of skilled, caring teachers is committed to helping each child reach their full potential in the spiritual, emotional, social, physical, creative, intellectual and cognitive domains.

We are dedicated to establishing strong connections between children and their peers, children and staff and staff and families. At Christ the King, adults and children are partners in creating meaningful curriculum and growth experiences.
