In Main Street's Preschool ministry, we are working each week to build a foundation of faith in these little lives that will last forever. We have wonderful teachers who are passionate about preschoolers and we seek to begin faith development at infancy. We also have a ToTs parent team that is committed to ensuring excellence in our preschool department.

Sunday Mornings

Curriculum

We use Gospel Light's Preschool Sunday School curriculum- their motto is: "We let them play while they learn." Gospel Light has designed a simple, three-step teaching plan that keeps children involved in lively activities, while they learn about God. It's as simple as: Play. Listen. Talk.

Safety and Security

Your child's safety is important to us at Main Street. All of our trained staff and volunteers go through a thorough application process that includes a criminal background check and verified reference check. 

When you bring your preschooler to Main Street, you will be asked to register your child at our Sign-In table. We need some basic information about your sweet little one, so that we can give him/her excellent care. Your preschooler will receive a uniquely numbered sticker, that is to be placed on his/her back, with a matching sticker for you. When you pick up your preschooler at the end of your worship experience, you will be asked to provide this sticker or a valid driver's license.  If you are needed, we will text or call your cell phone. Your child's safety is our primary concern- children cannot learn unless they feel that they are in secure environment.

Classes

8:30 a.m.- Rise & Shine Service

All preschoolers are invited to "come as you are, p.j.'s and all!" We'll have a little breakfast and help you get ready for a great day for learning about God. We will have a special time of worship and spending time with our friends, just like our parents! Get ready to Rise and Shine and give God the Glory!

10:50 a.m.- Preschool Promiseland

Preschool Promiseland is a time for preschoolers (potty-trained 3's-Kindergarten) to have a relevant worship experience, where we pray, worship and sit on little pews just like our bigger friends in the Worship Center across the street. :-) For consistency and maximum retention, we use "My Great Big God ," which expands on the Bible lesson from PBJ that morning, using adventure and art centers. Preschool Promiseland takes place in Tot Town, our newly refurbished preschool worship center. Our middle school students come and help as leaders, we love them! Our 3 year olds have their own special class taught by our trained high school girls, Hannah, Jessica, Anna and Alyssa. They meet in the Ocean room during break out center time, play on the playground, and meet back with everyone for worship. We have so much fun each week, our room is full of energy, exuberance and enthusiasm!
