Trinity Preschool
We believe in educating the whole child – mind, body, and spirit. At Trinity, your child will be immersed in a loving and caring atmosphere. Surrounded by Christian teachers committed to partnering with parents to enable children to develop, learn, and grow in a caring, nurturing environment. Through age-appropriate skills (social and emotional play with fine and gross motor skills) your child will grow in all areas of their lives. Daily, they will learn new vocabulary, phonic sounds, explore shapes, and develop fine and gross motor skills all within a Christ-centered environment.
