Presbyterian Preschool has been providing quality early-childhood education to children in Sonoma County since 1962. We are a non-profit that provides a nurturing, supportive and engaging environment for children to grow and learn at their own pace. We have classes for children age 2.9 years–5 years old. We are located on the beautiful, spacious campus of First Presbyterian Church of Santa Rosa.

About Our School

• Presbyterian Preschool is a developmental and play-based program.
• We honor and nurture each child’s uniqueness.
• We provide children with an opportunity to develop socially, physically, intellectually, creatively, and spiritually.
• We allow children to develop at their own pace; learning through play and through the process of discovery.
• Our 6:1 ratio of children to teachers provides many open-ended and intentional learning opportunities.

Our Philosophy

When children play they stimulate their creativity and imagination. Play helps develop reading, thinking, problem-solving skills, as well as social and emotional development and motor skills. Play is the basic foundation for learning.

Here at Presbyterian Preschool we whole-heartedly believe in this philosophy. We intentionally offer many areas for your child to develop and grow through their play at preschool. Here are some of the development areas we strive to support and nurture.
• Language and Vocabulary
• Imagination and Creativity
• Problem-Solving and Mathematics
• Science through discovery or Hands-on Science
• Social and Emotional Development
• Gross and Fine Motor Development

We attempt to model Christian values and apply them within our conversations with children, in our presentation of basic Bible stories throughout the year, and in our daily grace said at snack time.
