About Mars Hill Church Preschool
Mars Hill Presbyterian Church Preschool began in 2001 as a ministry committed to providing quality education in a loving Christian setting. Our goals are:
- To provide a positive, safe, happy environment where a child will be able to experience success.
- To provide hands-on leaning with a Bible/theme based curriculum through art, music, creative play, Bible stories and verses.
- To build skills for kindergarten readiness.
- To satisfy a child's need to find out, the need to belong, and the need to feel secure in God's plan for us.
- To foster the vision/mission of Mars Hill Church by:
- Bringing people in our community to Jesus through their children.
- Educating children about God's love.
- Ministering to our church and community through the children's programs.
- Having our children spread the good news of Jesus Christ to the community.
- Having our children worship together with their families and community.
Each class follows a schedule that includes time for music, movement, art, Bible stories, crafts, snacks, circle time, centers, outdoor play time and academic instruction. There is a school-wide theme, color and shape of the month. We use the Zoo-phonics academic curriculum, and our Bible education curriculum studies one Fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23 ) per month. We have a student body of 50 and staff of 10. All staff members must pass a criminal background check and take classes in CPR and First Aid.
In general we follow the Cobb County Schools' schedule with a week later start date, 2 extra days for Christmas break and a week earlier end date.
Our Preschool Director is Jessica Pehel. You can contact her at 770-974-8481 or jlpehel1013@gmail.com
