Preschool
Preschool at SB
The Summerville Baptist Preschool is a non-profit, Christ-centered ministry. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment each weekday, where children can grow and develop in all areas of their personality—mental, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. Additionally, we provide age-appropriate activities, which foster this development and meet the needs of both preschool children and parents.
All employees are active members of a local church and display a Christ-like lifestyle. Our preschool teachers have a genuine love for children and a commitment to teaching. Most are CPR and First Aid certified. In addition, all are required to complete fifteen hours of in-service training per year, cleared through SLED & undergo fingerprint checks.
We are proud to say that our school provides two preschool teachers and low child ratios in each class. Furthermore, this allows the teachers the opportunity to tailor to individual needs, offer smaller group activities, and provide a higher quality of care.
Preschool Options
Curriculum
Our Pre-Kindergarten (Pre-K) program is designed to support children at every stage of early childhood development, from infancy through age four. Each age group follows a carefully structured curriculum that nurtures cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth. Our goal is to create a strong foundation for lifelong learning by fostering curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving skills. With a focus on hands-on experiences and interactive learning, we help children develop the skills they need to transition smoothly into kindergarten.
To meet the diverse needs of families, we offer several flexible program options. Whether parents need full-time care, part-time learning, or specialized enrichment activities, we strive to provide a program that aligns with their child’s developmental stage and schedule. Our classrooms are designed to encourage exploration, promote independence, and support positive peer interactions. By maintaining a structured yet nurturing environment, we help children feel safe, confident, and eager to learn.
We incorporate WEE Learn and Handwriting Without Tears into our curriculum, ensuring a well-rounded educational experience. WEE Learn provides a faith-based, developmentally appropriate approach that integrates literacy, math, science, and social skills. It encourages critical thinking while reinforcing Christian values. Handwriting Without Tears helps children build fine motor skills, letter recognition, and early writing abilities through engaging, multisensory activities. These programs work together to enhance early literacy and communication skills, preparing children for future academic success.
At Summerville Baptist Preschool, we are committed to nurturing every child’s unique abilities while fostering a love for learning. Through individualized attention, structured lessons, and play-based experiences, we provide a high-quality education that supports both academic and personal growth. Parents can trust that their children are in a caring, faith-centered environment where they will thrive and develop essential skills for the future.
Full Time Option
Our Full-Time Program provides five-day-a-week childcare, Monday through Friday, from 6:30 AM to 6:00 PM. This program is designed for parents who work full-time and need dependable, high-quality care throughout the entire day. We offer full-time enrollment for infants, toddlers, and children ages two, three, and four, ensuring that each child receives the appropriate care, attention, and early education tailored to their developmental stage.
