Our Mission

The purpose of Wee Blessings Preschool is to provide Preschool-aged children the opportunity to play together, to develop socially, to be introduced to academic skills needed for Kindergarten, to participate in supervised activities and to learn to relate to the love of God.  Wee Blessings is a non-profit, totally private faith-based preschool.

 

We believe that every child is unique and important to God (Psalm 127:3, Mark 10:16).  In light of this the Board and Staff of Wee Blessings Preschool commit themselves to welcome and love every child in the name of Jesus Christ (John 15:12).  Understanding that the home, family and parents are the primary sources encouraging and nurturing children (Deuteronomy 6:5-7), the Board and Staff of Wee Blessings will intentionally (Proverbs 22:5) supplement the development of each child’s

  • heart - spiritual, social and emotional development;
  • head - mental, thinking and deciding abilities;
  • and body - motor skills, muscle development and personal independence.

We believe all of life belongs to God (Psalm 24:1-2) and comes under His Lordship (Colossians 1:18).  Therefore, Wee Blessings Preschool Board and Staff will make every effort to relate the love of God (1 John 3:1) to the teaching and learning environment (Colossians 3:17) presented to the children.
