Wooster Christian School has several Pre-Kindergarten options to meet the needs of your family and help prepare your child for success in school. We aim to foster growth in our students academically, socially, physically, and spiritually.
Our state-licensed academic programs for 3, 4, and 5-year-olds follow the content standards set up by the State of Ohio for math, language, science, and social studies. Through plenty of one-on-one attention coupled with fun group activities, our students learn the age-appropriate cognitive skills they will need to do well in kindergarten and beyond. Students receive individualized attention tailored to their specific levels of learning and plenty of opportunities to be curious, energetic, and explore the world around them.
Our Christian teachers do more than just teach - they genuinely love their students, gently encouraging them to reach their full potential. Bible lessons and prayer teach students about God's Word and His deep love for them. They assist in the development of good manners and a clear sense of right and wrong, values that are essential in developing their character.

Our Junior Kindergarten program is designed as a stepping stone between Pre-K and Kindergarten. It is perfect for 4 and 5-year-olds who need a more challenging curriculum, but are not yet ready for Kindergarten. This class meets five days a week from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm. A modified Kindergarten curriculum is used. While the classroom atmosphere is similar to Kindergarten with seat work, more accountability, and a more structured schedule, we still allow these younger students plenty of play time as part of their learning experience. This robust program includes weekly attendance of music class, art class, gym, library, and computer lab.
