WELCOME TO CHAPEL HILL PRESCHOOL!

Chapel Hill Preschool in Gig Harbor has been teaching and loving children since 1999. Our program is a Christ-centered learning experience for children ages two through five. Our experienced, professional teachers love guiding children through play-based learning. Your child will learn to love Jesus while developing the social and academic skills needed to successfully move on to kindergarten, all while having lots of fun!

Our schedule is guided by the needs and interests of our students. A typical day will include a wide variety of learning experiences that incorporate both large and small group activities, and independent learning tasks in the areas of cognitive skills, science, arts, literature, and play. Children will have many free choice activities as well as teacher led lessons. Built into all of these activities are many opportunities to share biblical truths.
