Kids-Express Preschool is a part of the Children’s Community at Bethel Church.

Kids are important to God, and they are also important to us! Since the learning process is set in motion in early childhood, we want to provide an academic program that enhances intellectual, spiritual, emotional, social, and physical growth of children. Learning experiences appropriate for the developmental age of each group are provided. Kids Express Preschool is a program for children 2-5 yrs. of age as of Aug 31st of the year of enrollment.

We have a well-planned curriculum that provides a monthly teaching topic and a Bible story around which activities are organized.

Our rooms are arranged into play/learning centers where children can make choices for individual and small group activities.

Since we believe children need to have a good, uplifting environment, positive guidance techniques are used by the teachers.

Our teachers have experience working with children. The lead teacher in each room has a college degree or at least five years experience in early childhood environment. They are required to receive training hours each year in several competency areas.

Extensive background checks for each teacher are required for your child’s safety. All teachers are required to have a Washington State Patrol form on file.

We offer teacher:child ratios that are below the current state regulations. We believe that two teachers per room provides the safest environment for both teachers and kids.

Classes run from September - May.

Tuition is due by the 1st of each month. Late fee’s apply after the 10th of the month.

A registration fee of $70.00 is required at the time of registration.
