The purpose of the weekday preschool program is to support the home and extend the ministry of the church by providing biblically based, age-appropriate education for preschoolers. It is the mission of this preschool to share God’s love and purpose with both the children and their families.

A child develops mentally, physically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally. We are committed to providing biblically based, age-appropriate experiences to allow each child to progress in these areas at his/her own ability while enjoying feelings of success. This is primarily done through hands-on activities in learning centers and Christ like role modeling by the staff.

The Weekday Preschool teachers use the biblically based Wee Learn curriculum for daily instruction. Preschoolers are active learners; they learn through play.

Our goal at Fruit Cove Baptist Weekday Preschool is to provide quality education and care for all preschoolers. We define these as the ABCs of preschool education. The “A” is for activity-based learning where all preschoolers through hands-on activities. The “B” is for Bible-based education, where children are introduced to Bible themes and stories as they relate to real life situations. The “C” stands for center-based play, where children have opportunities to play in a variety of centers that offer multiple experiences for imagination and creative play. 

We also provide weekly resource classes that include library, music, science, and Spanish.

We provide two teachers in each classroom. We strive to keep low ratios so that teachers are able to provide individual attention for maximum learning.

“Words can’t describe what Fruit Cove Baptist Weekday Preschool means to me. I have three children who have attended in the past with a 3 year old currently there. I love hearing about her day when I pick her up, from what she did on the playground, to what she read in the library, what she sang in music and what she learned in science. Not only is she being taught education, but she is also learning about God in every part of the day. My older children definitely went in to school with a jump start on their education, knowing a lot of things you typically learn in your kindergarten year. The teachers and staff at Fruit Cove are amazing – always loving, friendly and eager to talk to you about your little one and their accomplishments. Fruit Cove Baptist Weekday Preschool is definitely the place you want your child to be!”
