About the Provider

Description: Cresset Christian Academy Preschool offers children through pre-kindergarten a rich, Christ-centered learning experience for their early years. We are committed to the quality of education in our pre-school. We believe that the first years of education should prepare children for a lifetime of learning. Maybe that's why we've received a four-star rating from the State of North Carolina. Our curriculum, written expressly for our pre-school, is scripture-driven. Infants work on building awareness through their five senses, and our 2 through 4 year-olds participate in a different special activity or field trip every month. At Cresset, we believe the diversity of our school should reflect the diversity found in the kingdom of God. That's why if you walk our halls, you won't just see a full ethnic diversity, you'll also find that we strive to incorporate diverse cultural traditions and learning styles. From friends to story time to play time, you'll find we offer your child a place to grow, learn, and explore.
