Shawnee Presbyterian Preschool has been an important part of the mission outreach program of Shawnee Presbyterian Church since its founding in 1970.

The Preschool Committee is the governing body of the preschool.  The committee's members are parents and church members whose purpose it is to establish and maintain all the policies and regulations of the preschool.

Our church membership is committed to providing an appropriate environment for young children - an environment which provides the educational and spiritual foundations upon which their lives will be built.

Because both church members and the preschool staff are committed to enhancing each child's spiritual growth, we are members of the Christian Preschool Association.  This organization provides workshops to enhance our teaching skills in both the spiritual and developmental aspects of our curriculum.

Our goal is to provide our children with the academic, emotional, physical, and spiritual foundations that will enhance self-worth, confidence, and enthusiasm throughout their lives.
