Preschool
Byron Center Christian’s Preschool is a secure, loving environment where each child can grow spiritually, socially, emotionally, academically, and physically. Here, their boundless curiosity will be rewarded by the discovery approach to learning, which is rich in experiences and in the use of intellectually stimulating hands-on materials.
The Director of the Preschool program, Mrs. Pat DeHaan, has a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and well over 20 years of early childhood teaching experience. She is dedicated to providing a warm, nurturing, and fun learning atmosphere for young children.

EC/MC (Early Childhood/Multi-age Classroom
Our EC/MC program is designed both for children who are currently enrolled in Kindergarten at BCCS and would benefit from further reinforcement of the concepts being taught in that curriculum, as well as for children who have completed a preschool program, but would profit from extra classroom time and nurturing before entering kindergarten (similar to DK or Young 5’s). The program will stimulate learning by incorporating music, art projects, science experiments, Bible stories, literature, creative drama, and math games. The two-year curriculum is designed so if students choose to attend EC/MC both before and during their kindergarten years, they will enjoy fresh material.
EC/MC will meet all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 8:25–3:23, and on Friday afternoons, from 12:20–3:23.
