About Us
Viewmont Baptist Preschool "Tree of Learning" is a Christian outreach ministry of the Education Department of Viewmont Baptist Church. The children will enjoy Chapel Time once per week lead by the Ministers of Viewmont Baptist Church. We are a Christian program based on the idea that play is the best way for children to learn.
Each classroom is organized with centers for creative art, literature, science, pre-math, dramatic play, cognitive and small motor development. The environment is planned to stimulate imagination, creativity, socialization, exploration, and discovery. We celebrate children's own unique gifts, while encouraging each child to reach their highest potential. Our goal is for every child to develop an excitement and love for Jesus, learning, and school.

OUR MISSION
We strive to provide knowledge of God's love and age apporpriate learning experiences for each age group we serve which is six weeks through five years of age. It is important to us that the needs of the whole child - spiritual, mental, social, emotional and physical - be met. Our Christian emphasis is "nurturing God's children with love and knowledge". Our goal is to give each child the academic and social experiences with other children before entering kindergarten. Our values and beliefs about children are deeply rooted in the history of early childhood education.
