PRESCHOOL: Laying the Foundation

At Whitefield Academy, we believe the preschool years are integral in a child’s development as a follower of Christ and a lifelong learner. Our preschool staff strives to engage students and enhance learning utilizing the ABEKA curriculum and hands-on activities. Developmentally appropriate activities are designed to ensure your child is growing spiritually, mentally, and physically. Whitefield Academy Preschool is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools (ACSI) and licensed by the state of Kentucky. Every staff member has had multiple background checks and has completed 15 hours of continuing education each year. They have certifications in CPR, First Aid, Head Trauma, and MinistrySafe.

  • Character Development – Students will develop self-discipline, confidence, social skills, empathy, and respect for others using the Fruits of the Spirit and the 10 Commandments as a guide. Galatians 5:22-23, Exodus 20:1-17
  • Educational Development – Utilizing the ABEKA curriculum, students will gain knowledge through weekly themed activities in preparation for Kindergarten.

Preschoolers will learn recognition and formation of letters and numbers, phonics, and math.
