We offer classes three days a week (Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday) and five days a week with an $80 registration fee.

Some of the special events that the children participate in each year are Costume Carnival, Pow Wow, St. Jude Trike A Thon, Olympics Day, Spring Program, Art on the Playground and many more special days throughout the year. We also offer—through outside programs coming into our facility—Kids for Christ dance, and Kinder TOTs. All our classes meet together to have Chapel on Wednesdays in the Sanctuary. The teachers schedule conferences with the preschool parents in order to keep you informed of your child’s progress and readiness for kindergarten. Clinton Park teachers love getting our students!
