Early Childhood Education

Ages 3-5

ECE marks the foundational step in a child's educational journey, fostering early learning experiences that shape their future academic and social development.

Welcome to the Early Childhood Education program at Tri-City Christian School. We are honored to partner with you during your child’s educational journey and humbled to work alongside them, for in the words of Solomon, in Proverbs, 22:6, “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.”

Our Curriculum

We focus on ensuring the growth and development of the whole child and have drawn from a wide array of ECE philosophies and methodologies, while developing our best practices approach, and have done so while ensuring God remains at the center. Our multifaceted path ensures your child will not only flourish academically, but emotionally, socially, and spiritually as well.
