Our Core Values:
We believe that education, especially of young children, must be fun in order to instill in them a love of learning and a curiosity to know more. Play should not be separate from learning. If children learn to create, play, and have fun, they will develop a strong foundation on which all future learning can be built. What an awesome responsibility we have to our future and the children who comprise it! HIS Small Wonders Preschool truly believes in the power of play through exploration, creativity, imagination, faith, and love. Encouraging children to reach as far as they can and dream as big as the sky, will build a strong foundation one brick at a time.

A: We are often approached about extending our program from three to five days. We believe our three day program is better for children.
