Celebrating 70 years serving the families of Glens Falls and surrounding communities
The preschool welcomes all children to participate in its programs. This would not be possible without the generous gift of our facility, utilities, administrative support, and custodial services from Christ Church United Methodist.
The staff at Christ Church Pre School brings a variety of experience and commitment to the education of young children. Our team of educators is equipped to provide comfort and opportunities for discovery, always with mutual respect. With careful and constant communication, the education of your preschool children will be a joyful and pivotal period in their development. We welcome your participation in your child’s education. Through a partnership between our staff and you, your children can get the social, emotional and intellectual foundation needed to succeed and thrive in today’s educational system.
We’re extremely excited to be planning for the new school year! We are welcoming back our 2 year old program as well as our three day program for 3s. We look forward to the exciting changes and endless possibilities as we strive to optimize potential. We can’t wait to meet our new friends, and reconnect with all our returning families.
Welcome!
