NOAH'S ARK PRESCHOOL

NOAH'S ARK PRESCHOOL

Noah’s Ark Preschool is a ministry of First Presbyterian Church, existing to serve the children and families of the congregation and community in a Christian environment. While striving to meet individual needs for mental, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth, we seek to develop each child’s self image, to encourage his/her interpersonal relationship with others, and to teach the child about the love of God for all people.

FIELD TRIPS

We take trips to the library, The Pumpkin Patch, the fire station and many other places.

SOCIAL SKILLS

At Noah's Ark, children learn how to become a good friend, a team player, and a mindful student. Teachers implement thoughtful lesson plans to encourage age-appropriate social skills to aid in each child's success in learning.

A MESSAGE FROM OUR DIRECTOR

We love keeping people in the loop and informed. 

Director Lauren Trantham  

Noah’s Ark is a special place to me and my family.  All three of my personal children have come through the Ark from Nursery to the 4-year-old classroom.  I have worn many hats over my years at Noah's Ark.  I have served as a parent, a 4-year-old teacher, a 3-year-old teacher, and now Director.  I am fully invested on all the levels and take pride in pouring my heart into our program. There is no denying the quality of care and instruction children receive during their time here.  The team at the Ark becomes family and the foundation your child receives is untouchable. God has his hands all over our preschool and it shows. I am proud to lead at such a special place and look forward to the years ahead.  

NOAH’S ARK PLEDGE

I am a student at Noah’s Ark Preschool. 
I am one of God’s children. 
I will try to make good choices. 
 

I will make it a good day for myself and others. 

 

We would love the opportunity to provide a safe and fun environment for your child to grow. The opportunity to foster social skills, help build an educational foundation and put the love of God in your child’s heart.

Noah's Ark Preschool will follow Greenwood District 50 calendar apart from our start date and our last day of the school year.

 

If you have registered your child for the school year and decide not to send him or her until later in the year, you will be responsible for paying monthly tuition until your child begins our program. A spot is being held for your child, and other students who may wish to start immediately would not be given a chance for a spot if the class is full.

 

If your child has an extended absence due to illness, hospitalization, traveling, etc., you will be required to pay the full monthly tuition. Your child’s spot is being held for his or her return, and the monthly tuition has already been allocated for payroll and operational expenses. Should extenuating circumstances occur, the Noah’s Ark Board will review the case and decide regarding tuition at their discretion.

 

 If you feel it necessary to withdraw your child from our program, you must give at least one month’s notice. If a decision to withdraw is made at the end of a month, you will be responsible for paying for the next month’s tuition.

 

*All students must be immunized, and a current Immunization Form is required by July 1, 2025 for the student to remain enrolled at Noah’s Ark.    

 

  Monthly Tuition rate for 2025 - 2026 for everyone is $250.
