preschool

overview

Central Texas Christian School’s goal for our preschool is to provide a learning environment that is safe, nurturing, faith-filled, and challenging for your child, while creating experiences that are developmentally appropriate.  We strive to prepare children to become independent thinkers and lifelong learners.  The success of our program is accomplished through Kingdom Education, a program centered on God, His Son Jesus, the Bible, and the evidence of God in our world.  In order to partner with us, our policy requires that at least one parent of enrolling students be a professing Christian.

Class time is from 8:10 a.m. until 11:40 a.m.  Three and five day morning programs are available for children who are three and four years old.  The student-teacher ratio is no more than 12:1 with shared aides.  Students do not wear uniforms but are encouraged to wear comfortable clothes with closed-toe shoes.  All Preschool students must be completely potty-trained.
