About Us

At Prince of Peace Preschool, we believe that children learn best through play and hands-on exploration. Our indoor and outdoor classrooms provide a fun and stimulating learning environment where children can investigate and explore using their tremendous curiosity while developing kindergarten readiness skills. Our students explore our outdoor nature playground and garden year-round and on a daily basis. One of our primary goals is to develop a positive self-image in each child while practicing social, cognitive and language skills; affirming that he or she is a unique, special person. We utilize Creative Curriculum by Teaching Strategies to guide our learning with studies and activities that enable children to develop confidence, creativity, and life-long critical thinking skills. In addition, we utilize Learning Without Tears for pre-writing and incorporate a variety of music, process art, and gross/fine motor activities throughout the school day.

“Honey, you need to go to school (POPPS)             to make fudge”

“What?” One dad asked in surprise. Well, not exactly, but March IS the month for our annual F.U.D.G.E. night! FUDGE stands for Fathers, Uncles, Dads, Grandpas, Etc and is our annual night for students and a male guest to visit and explore our classrooms. When we started 20 years ago, we mostly had moms and grandmas doing the drop off, pick up and volunteer duties, but now we have full involvement from all family members! However, FUDGE night is a tradition we hold onto because it is FUN! Our guests dress for mess and paint with their student host at the easel, build masterpieces in the block center, create 3-D sculptures in our art center and become veterinarians, pet owners and adopters in our dramatic play centers as we are knee deep into our Pet Study at the moment. We will also enjoy pizza, a song and fellowship.                And maybe some Fudge for dessert!                                          We are also in the middle of registration for the ’25-’26 school year! If you know of a family looking for an early childhood educational home and family for their preschooler, please share about Prince of Peace Preschool! We will be happy to host them for a visit and tour of our school.

       Ephesians 4:32 – Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
