Who We Are

Berean Preschool + Kindergarten opened its doors in 1982 as the Berean Education Center with one simple goal: to provide families with a quality, faith-based early learning experience. More than four decades later, we’ve grown in size and programming, but our mission remains the same. We feel honored to partner with families as we help set their children up for joy-filled success in learning.

Our team is made up of full-time and part-time teachers, assistants, and classroom aides. All staff meet DCYF qualification standards and receive ongoing training as part of their continued professional development.

    Our Time Outdoors

Our outdoor activities encourage children to build confidence, strengthen motor skills, enjoy fresh air, and experience God’s creation through active play.
