Mountain View Christian Schools Preschool
The philosophy of Mountain View Christian Preschool is to “train up children in the way they should go,” (Proverbs 22:6) by providing a Christ-centered, academic-based preschool program.
MVCS accomplishes this goal by:
- Introducing the children to a loving God who is both our Creator and our Savior
- Teaching the children using a balance of work and play by incorporating center-based learning with structured
curriculum to teach the academic skills necessary for a successful transition into our kindergarten program. -
Modeling and instilling positive character attributes by establishing age- appropriate routines and using a proactive
discipline plan.

Thank you for your support of our Walkathon Fundraiser. Class participation is noted on posters in each classroom. Children who earn T-Shirts (with a $50.00 donation) can wear them any day during the Walkathon Fundraising campaign.
Classroom changes will occur this Monday as we shift our classroom assignments to best accommodate our ratios in compliance with licensing standards. Room 102 will move to Room 105 with Mrs. Steele; Mrs. Gunther will teach the
3s along with Mrs. Martinez who will serve as a full time aide. Mrs. Bold’s class will remain the same.
Please continue to use the main school entrance for pick up and drop off. The east entrance will remain locked for security purposes.
