About the Provider

Description: Lexington Park Baptist Church Preschool and Kindergarten is a developmental learning Preschool for three and four year olds and Kindergarten age children. It was established in 1969 and remains one of the most reasonably priced preschools in the county. Our program is a hands-on, lightly structured, experiential learning atmosphere. Children learn basic Christian values and truths, number and letter skills, and social skills, and participate in crafts, and dexterity and coordination-building activities. The Lexington Park Baptist Church Preschool and Kindergarten is a ministry of LPBC and has been established to minister to the needs of young children and their families.

At LPBC Preschool and Kindergarten, we also regard each individual child as a unique creation of God. It is our intent that each child's abilities and needs be the gauge by which the teacher adjusts and refines the standard curriculum.
