Choosing a program in Glendale
Choosing a preschool program starts with your child: their age, the things they are learning, and what helps them feel at home. Our Glendale classrooms serve children ages 1–5 with activities, materials, and routines suited to each stage.
Starting group care, moving from toddlers into preschool, and preparing for pre-K each bring different questions. Tell our Glendale team about your child’s language, independence, friendships, and daily routines so we can discuss classroom placement and current openings together.
You do not have to settle every question before visiting. Bring your child’s age, the care schedule you need, and the things you would like us to know.

A day in our Glendale programs
Predictable routines help children know what comes next. Arrival, circle time, learning centers, meals, rest, outdoor play, and closing activities give the day a familiar shape, with activities suited to the classroom.
Teachers respond to children’s attention, energy, and needs while keeping learning playful.
See our curriculum & daily scheduleBlocks, books, pretend kitchens, puzzles, and art invite children to explore. Counting blocks or talking through a make-believe story builds language, math, and problem-solving in ordinary moments.
Teachers model listening, asking for a turn, and using words instead of grabbing. Children practice handling frustration, asking for help, and repairing relationships.
Outdoor play, as weather allows, gives children space to run, climb, and build coordination. Group games offer practice taking turns and following directions.
Meals, rest, and familiar transitions balance active learning. Calm guidance and repeated routines help children feel ready for the next part of their day.
Learning through the seasons
Our Glendale summer preschool options keep familiar routines while adding seasonal themes, creative projects, and outdoor activities. Ask the office about current dates, ages, activities, and openings.

Tell us what reassures your child, how they respond to new places, and what you are practicing at home. Regular notes and conversations help you follow how your child is settling in, what the class is learning, and how friendships are developing.
Calm voices, encouragement, and patient help give children room to try a new activity or recover from a difficult moment. Teachers help children name feelings, ask for help, and use words when sharing is hard.

Meet our teachers & staffChrist at the heart of the day
Our Glendale programs bring Christian teaching into learning, play, and relationships. Children hear Bible stories, pray, sing worship songs, and practice kindness, gratitude, respect, and forgiveness.
Teachers use familiar words and age-appropriate activities to help children learn about Jesus. Families from different backgrounds are welcome when they are comfortable with our clearly Christian environment.
