Our Objectives
Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6
Memorial Baptist Preschool Kindergarten is dedicated to providing children with quality education from a Christian perspective.
In keeping with this tradition, our foundation for academic excellence and Christian character training is achieved by following the A Beka curriculum. Founded more than 25 years ago, the A Beka curriculum's primary goals are to develop Christian character traits, train children in the Bible, and provide learning experiences for total development in traditional subject matter.
Our objectives are to see that each child grows spiritually, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. You can trust that Memorial Baptist provides this firm foundation for a child's complete development.
Learning at Memorial Baptist Preschool & Kindergarten is lively, interesting, and memorable.

Opportunity is given daily and on special projects to work independently with art materials. Children find self-expression through the use of paint, scissors, crayons, and many other art materials.
