Where a Love for Learning and Jesus Begins
As you drop your child off at preschool, you want them to be more than a number. You want them to be seen, known, and loved. These early years are foundational, shaping how children learn, grow, and understand the world around them.
At Whitefield Academy Preschool, we partner with families during these crucial years, nurturing both a love for learning and a love for Jesus from the very beginning. In a caring and Christ-centered environment, our youngest students begin building the academic, social, emotional, and spiritual foundations that will prepare them for kindergarten and beyond.
From the very beginning, we knew this was more than a preschool — it’s a family. What sets this school apart is how intentional they are in preparing the kids for what’s ahead. We’ve watched so much growth, not only academically, but socially and emotionally as well. But even more meaningful to us is how our child’s faith is being nurtured. They are helping them know Jesus in a real and personal way, and encouraging them to live with kindness, compassion, and a Christlike heart.
We are reminded daily that this was the right choice. The friendships they’ve built here are so genuine and lasting, and we’re incredibly grateful to be part of the Whitefield family.
THE MARLOWE FAMILY
Building Early Learning Skills
Whitefield Preschool uses the Abeka curriculum, a trusted Christian program that provides a strong academic foundation while reinforcing biblical values.
Our preschool program also incorporates an engaging center-based learning approach that encourages children to explore, discover, and practice new skills in meaningful ways.
Growing in Faith
Spiritual development begins at the earliest ages at Whitefield Academy. Through Bible stories, prayer, weekly chapel, and Christ-centered teaching, children begin learning about God’s love and the truth of His Word.
These moments help nurture a growing understanding of faith while creating joyful experiences centered around God’s Word.
Enrichment & Discovery
Preschool at Whitefield offers a well-rounded experience designed to spark curiosity and joy in learning.
Students participate in enrichment opportunities that introduce them to new interests and experiences, including art, music, recess and outdoor play. Throughout the year, our little ones also enjoy special visits from Fern Creek Fire Department and other community helpers.
