Welcome to the Freshman Class for Two Year Olds
Our preschool students enjoy a variety of activities designed to build developmental skills while nurturing individual strengths. Our students learn through the Abeka Curriculum building readiness skills for kindergarten. In addition to academic abilities, our program promotes character building through the Essentials Preschool Bible Curriculum. We build a strong foundation for learning through lessons in art, science, music, writing, phonics, math, Bible, and American history. We invite you to schedule a tour of our campus located in Clearwater, Florida. We are pleased to offer extended hours from 7:30am - 5:30pm. We welcome Florida Pride scholarships, Coordinated Child Care scholarships and VPK vouchers.
