Curriculum Overview

Our curriculum offers a stimulating program for all children to excel in math, science and reading readiness. Every day children have opportunities to learn, laugh and play! Through our music and movement classes and daily outdoor play, we keep the children's gross motor skills tuned, while our manipulatives in the classroom keep their fine motor skills progressing. Our arts and crafts activities promote creative development and independence.  Games and stories keep all of the children fully engaged and having fun!


Throughout each session, teachers emphasize the love of Jesus in all that is said and done and follow our rule for behavior to "respect yourself and others" and "to love each other as Jesus taught us."

Staff Overview

With over 100 years of collective experience working with young children, our tenured staff members constantly strive to provide a nurturing and most developmentally appropriate environment for your child.  All classroom teachers are certified in Early Childhood Education. All staff members are certified in CPR and First Aide training as well. Through on-going continuing education, the staff continues to introduce new ideas to their classrooms throughout the year to enhance your child’s preschool experience.

Testimonials

"I feel very fortunate to have found a place where I am comfortable leaving my children during those first most formative years. CNC has provided my children with such a positive, nurturing and loving foundation, socially, academically and spiritually. When they are finished at CNC, I feel extremely confident that are ready to tackle on their next small step."


"I want what is best for my kids. CNC is where it happens!"


"Thank you again for all the time and dedication that the staff dedicates to the children. I knew they would learn a lot and be in a safe environment. It seems just like yesterday when I dropped 'my son' off kicking and screaming. I remember being so upset by this, but I knew if I stuck it out he would have wonderful rewards. Boy, he is spoiled, such a great experience! I hope he experiences the same as he enters kindergarten."


"CNC is the "good stuff" in life. Thank you to the entire staff."


"You teach from the heart and it shows in the faces of all your students! Thank you for touching the soul of my child, I will never forget you!!! Thank you, God bless you!"


"I continue to be impressed by all of the staff here at the school. I know that the teachers worked tirelessly over the summer to ensure a smooth start to the school year. There isn’t a teacher here who doesn’t warmly welcome parents into the school. I love how we are encouraged to volunteer in the school, how we are welcome to observe our children at any time. I LOVE the programs that families are invited to attend – pumpkin carving night, the Thanksgiving program, the Christmas pageant. I also love how Pastor Dave spends time with the children, gently introducing them to God and teaching them important lessons. I continue to be amazed by the dedication of everyone here at the school."
