WELCOME

Noah’s Ark was founded in 1997 by a group of parents who were looking for a quality Christian program for their young children. Noah’s Ark is designed to help each child grow within an atmosphere that nurtures positive self-image and social skills in a loving, Christian environment. We offer classes for children ages 2-6, each with age-appropriate hands-on activities. Each year we build on the skills and learning experiences from the previous years at Noah’s Ark. Upon completion of Noah’s Ark Preschool, your child will leave with positive feelings about themself and confidence in their learning, ready and eager to enter elementary school.
