School Notes

Children are unique individuals with varying rates of growth, capabilities and interests.
A child's social-emotional growth is just as important as their academic growth.
They learn through trial and error, play, imitation, participation and communication.
Through the use of our physical space and child-size equipment, Epworth has designed a learning center that provides children numerous opportunities to use their senses, muscles, curiosity and language.
Our instructional goals are to provide age-appropriate activities and experiences in Language Arts, Social Studies, Math, Science, Music, Art and Physical Education.
Qualified teachers implement the curriculum in these areas by using materials and equipment that are consistent with the development of children ages 2 through 5 years.

At Epworth Preschool & Kindergarten, we believe every child deserves a strong, joyful start. Rooted in Christian values, our program offers a warm, nurturing environment where young learners feel safe, supported, and celebrated. Our thoughtfully designed daily schedule encourages creativity, curiosity, and hands-on exploration-helping children grow not only academically, but socially, emotionally, and spiritually. From imaginative play and early literacy to music, movement, and chapel time, each day is filled with opportunities to build confidence and character.Our dedicated teachers bring years of experience, deep compassion, and a genuine love for children, ensuring that every child is guided and encouraged as they develop their unique gifts.Whether your family is seeking a caring preschool community or a solid foundation for kindergarten readiness, Epworth is a place where children love to learn and families feel at home.
