Preschoolers are children from birth until they enter the first grade. These are a child's formative years and are crucial to his or her future. At Denman Avenue Baptist Church, preschoolers are important and are always busy learning. Our teachers know that spiritual growth is important and is enhanced when it grows out of a good foundation of mental, physical, social and emotional development. Our goal for your preschooler is that they associate God, Jesus, the Bible and church with happy experiences. These concepts are taught through the use of activity areas, art, blocks, books, pictures, home-living, music, nature and puzzles. Much of what a child does is called "play" by adults, but play is the child's work, and to us it is serious business.
We offer Worship care for all preschoolers during the worship services. In addition to Sunday School, we also provide Christian experiences through a variety of programs.
The Preschool Ministry would like to extend to you a personal invitation to tour the church's new nursery area. Please come by during the week at your convenience.
Our Purpose
To help each child:
Associate God, Jesus, and the Bible with happy feelings.
Make progess in solving problems, sharing, and expressing himself.
Know that the Bible is THE SPECIAL BOOK that tells about God and Jesus.
Think of church as my church - the happy place.
Think of home as a place of love and security.
Begin thinking of others and adjusting to their interests.
These objectives and concepts are taught through the use of activity areas: art, blocks, books, pictures, home-living, music, natural world (nature), and puzzles.
