Hands-on discovery
Learning through touch, play, and curiosity in every classroom.
Playful Learning, Rooted in Faith
The preschool at St. Simons Presbyterian provides a safe and fun learning environment for children. ​It is the objective of our program to provide high quality education in a Christian atmosphere. We consider the development of the whole child to be our primary goal. Children will explore and discover through hands-on experiences, develop positive self-concepts, learn to follow directions, build self-confidence, accept responsibility and become more independent.
Room to be confident
Circle time, music, and routines that build independence.
Rooted in faith
Quality early education in a caring Christian community.

Two Year Old Program
Children must be age two by September 1st to be eligible for the preschool program. This program is offered two days a week on Tuesday and Thursday, three days a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, or five days a week, Monday through Friday. Two-year-olds will spend time in play situations that provide opportunities for exploration, experimentation, and manipulation. Through play, children will learn to interact with peers, problem solve, and develop their imaginations and creativity. Children will also participate in structured activities such as circle time, Chapel, music, and art. Socialization skills, including sharing and getting along with others, are primary goals for two-year-olds.
Mother's Morning Out
Need a morning to catch up on life? The St. Simons Presbyterian Preschool offers a Mother's Morning Out program, where you can have your child in the safe, nurturing environment of our preschool for up to two days a week. Your child must be 8 months by September 1 to be eligible for this program.
From first wobbly steps to Pre-K readiness, our programs grow with your family.
Three Year Old Program
Children must be age three by September 1st to be eligible for the preschool program. This program is offered either three days a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday or five days a week, Monday through Friday. The primary goal for three year olds is to help each child develop his or her potential as an individual and as a group member. This is accomplished by providing an environment in which each child can be stimulated and challenged through activities that develop gross and fine motor coordination, visual perception, reasoning, and communication skills. Our comprehensive curriculum also includes structured enrichment classes such as Chapel, music, and a children’s physical education program.
Four Year Old Pre-K Program
Children must be by age four by September 1st to be eligible for the preschool program. Four year old Pre-K classes are held Monday through Friday 9:00am to 1:00pm. The four year old Pre-K program promotes Kindergarten readiness. This does not mean concentrating on only academic skills, but focusing on all areas of readiness such as social and intellectual skills. Activities are designed to be age appropriate and develop each child's potential in all areas - social, emotional and cognitive. Our comprehensive curriculum includes structured enrichment classes such as Chapel, small group work, a children's physical education program, and music.
