We maintain small class sizes and value a developmental approach in all we do. The Christian way of life is modeled on a daily basis and the children attend chapel services weekly. The latest research validated our mission statement that children learn best when they feel safe and loved. A good preschool education is much more than learning the ABC's. As one of our alumni parents once said, "Colonial Hills School teaches children the three S's of Socialization, Self-esteem and Skills for life." Our highly trained excellent staff loves, nurtures and enriches each and every child. The children not only participate in a center-based, developmentally appropriate hands-on curriculum, they also attend special classes in Music, Spanish, Motor Skills, and Computer. Many on-campus events and field trips enrich our curriculum. As the children discover and explore, they experience the joy of learning. ...
