Risen Christ Christian Child Development Center

Risen Christ Christian Academy Preschool

A Faith-Based Foundation for Lifelong Learning

At Risen Christ Christian Academy, our Early Childhood Development Program provides a nurturing, structured, and academically focused environment for children ages one through Pre-Kindergarten. Open Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, our program supports each stage of early learning through age-appropriate curriculum, hands-on activities, and guidance from dedicated educators.

From toddlers discovering the world around them to Pre-Kindergarten students preparing for Kindergarten, we foster growth in language, literacy, math, social skills, and creative development within a safe and engaging classroom setting.

At the heart of our program is a commitment to academic excellence grounded in faith. Our teachers integrate Christian values such as respect, compassion, and responsibility into daily learning. Our goal is to develop confident learners with strong character, a solid academic foundation, and an understanding of God’s love—preparing them for Kindergarten and beyond.

Early Preschool (1 Year Olds)

Our Early Preschool classroom for one-year-olds is designed to nurture each child’s growth through engaging, age-appropriate activities that support important developmental and learning milestones. Children participate in sensory play, music and movement, story time, and simple art projects that encourage exploration, curiosity, and creativity. These activities help strengthen fine and gross motor skills, build language development, and promote cognitive growth through hands-on experiences. Daily routines such as singing songs, stacking blocks, and exploring textures help children practice communication, coordination, and problem solving in a safe and supportive environment.

In addition to academic readiness, our classroom focuses on social-emotional development by helping toddlers build trust, confidence, and early social skills. Teachers guide children through interactive play, group activities, and nurturing routines that encourage sharing, emotional expression, and positive relationships. By providing a warm, stimulating environment tailored to one-year-olds, our early preschool program helps children reach key developmental milestones while creating a joyful foundation for lifelong learning.
