About Mars Hill Church Preschool

Mars Hill Presbyterian Church Preschool began in 2001 as a ministry committed to providing quality education in a loving Christian setting. Our goals are:
1. To provide a positive, safe, happy environment where a child will be able to experience success.
2. To provide hands-on leaning with curriculum (WEE LEARN) through art, music, creative play, Bible stories and verses.
3. To satisfy a child's need to find out, the need to belong, and the need to feel secure in God's plan for us.
4. To foster the vision/mission of Mars Hill Church by:
    a) Bringing people in our community to Jesus through their children.
    b) Educating children about God's love.
    c) Ministering to our church and community through the children's programs.
    d) Having our children spread the good news of Jesus Christ to the community.
    e) Having our children worship together with their families and community.
Each class follows a schedule that includes time for music, art, Bible stories, crafts, snacks, circle time, centers, outdoor play time and academic instruction. There is a school-wide letter of the week and a color and shape of the month, and each age level follows a developmentally appropriate weekly theme. We have a student body of 80 and staff of 17.

The 2008/2009 school year will begin August 18, 2008 and end on May 14, 2009. In general we follow the Cobb County Schools' schedule. The Pre-K graduation ceremony will be on May 15, 2009.
