Contact our Admissions Team today-we'd love to meet your family and help you explore if our PreK program is the right fit for your child.
Welcome to PreK at Maranatha Christian Academy! Here, we lay a foundation for lifelong curiosity and spiritual growth through a classroom environment where your child is free to be themselves, learn about Jesus, and have fun learning. We’re excited to walk this journey with you and your family!
Our PreK program is built around the whole child—academically, relationally, and spiritually. Our intentional early literacy initiatives, foundational math concepts, and social-emotional development equip our youngest students to step into Lower School with confidence.
Our early education program is available for children starting at 3-years of age.
Preschool: For children who have turned 3 by September 1 and are potty trained.
Prek: For 4 and 5-year olds
Our early learning programs are offered 5 full days per week, with schedule options that include 2-days, 3-days, and 5-days per week.
2-Day Programs: Tuesday and Thursdays
3-Day Programs: Monday, Wednesday, Fridays
5-Day Programs: Monday to Friday
The school day runs from 8 am to 3 pm with extended care available from 7 am to 5:30 pm for families who need it. Our PreK classrooms maintain a 10:1 student-to-teacher ratio, so your child receives the individual attention they need to grow—academically, socially, and spiritually.
Morning drop-off for our youngest learners is handled directly at your child’s classroom, with staff present to welcome your family personally. Communication and check-in is managed using Daily Connect, which provides daily updates so you know exactly what your child has experienced.
Each day begins with the Morning Meeting—a few minutes to gather as a class, settle in, and look at what the day holds together. From there, students move into Bible time, where a teacher opens the Bible and helps even the youngest learners understand who they are in Christ and how He sees them.
Math follows through the calendar, weather, and the kind of hands-on counting that makes numbers feel like discovery. Language arts weaves reading, phonics, and early writing through activities that feel more like play than instruction. A daily Read Aloud gives students a chance to listen deeply and retell what they heard building comprehension one story at a time.
This is one of MCA's most distinctive spaces: a rotating set of student-directed centers that include a STEM table, sensory tables, an art area, a climbing wall, and a library tree with a reading nook. Children choose, explore, and create.
PE, art, music, library, and STEM—round out the week and set our program apart from a day-care center. Recess gives your child room to run, connect with friends, and develop through play. By the time you pick up, your child has been greeted, grounded in faith, intellectually engaged, and reminded more than once that they are loved.

"The PreK department is amazing! They love the kids so excellently and show God’s love on a daily basis. I’m grateful that God’s word is getting into my child’s heart through the way they sing Bible books and verses and worship. Thank you for seeking a deep relationship with God and pouring into our kids."
Our PreK team is ready to meet your family, answer your questions, and show you first hand what sets Maranatha apart.
