Nativity Child and Family Center - Preschool Program

Nativity Child and Family Center, a licensed facility, resides at Nativity and offers an extended day preschool and a half-morning preschool program. It is an early childhood ministry with children/parents and families in the community. The Center ministers to the "whole child," encouraging growth and development physically, emotionally, intellectually, spiritually and socially. It serves children from 33 months (toilet trained) until they start kindergarten.

Our center is safe, child-centered, and well equipped to meet the changing needs of children. We provide planned experiences that stimulate children to examine the world around them through individual and group activities.
