Preschool
Children are naturally curious and thrive in an engaging learning environment that fosters their innate sense of wonder. Based on God’s truth, Sussex Christian School Preschool provides rich, hands-on learning experiences for children to actively investigate and discover God’s world. Activities and materials are offered that meet the developmental needs of the Preschool child by providing daily opportunities for students to grow intellectually, spiritually, socially, emotionally, and physically.
