Oakland Presbyterian Preschool is a ministry of Oakland Presbyterian Church. We offer a high-quality preschool program in a safe, secure, and nurturing environment. Our teachers are fingerprinted and must pass a nationally screened background check. They are all trained and certified according to state standards.  We use a Christian faith-based curriculum, and we focus on appropriate preschool goals.  Our primary purpose is to teach, guide, and love children, to make a lifelong impression on their lives and the lives of their families, and to teach them about the love of Jesus Christ. Please note that we are not a daycare- we can not enroll children under age 2, and we do not offer drop-off before 8:30 am or pick-up past 3:15 pm. For information, contact our director at preschool@oaklandpres.org.

Preschool Parent Review

Deanna

“This is my daughter’s second year there. We absolutely LOVE the school and the entire staff. When we moved here, we were looking for a smaller-type school with a family-type atmosphere, and that’s exactly what Oakland Presbyterian is. They truly go above and beyond and love every single one of the kids. Nothing but positive things to say about the school and I highly recommend them.”
