PRESCHOOL

An Established Preschool Program Focused on Development 

Jack & Jill Preschool has been providing quality Christian Preschool instruction to the greater Leavenworth community since 1968 and since 1979 at the First Christian Church. Our teaching philosophy is based on direct teacher-student interaction. Classes have a student/teacher ratio of 8 to 1. Our curriculum is theme based and encourages children to be actively involved in the learning process. It is our philosophy that young children learn best through play, active manipulation of their environment and real life experiences. For more information about the program and enrollment please call us at (913) 682-1222.
