Life A-New Preparatory Academy understands that the most critical time for a child's learning begins during the early childhood years.
Many families seek to provide home-based learning to the children during these years; most are met with economic challenges that preclude such a structure.
Many are forced to work outside of the home and must find adequate care for their children as a result.
Our focus is on a quality Christian preschool and elementary program that fulfills the mandate found in Deuteronomy, "And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart.
You shall teach them diligently to your children. Chapel services are conducted each Wednesday where children are instructed in the Word of God.
