Birth – 4k
We are blessed to have the first chance to make a lasting impression of our Heavenly Father on your preschooler. The curriculum we use is simple and fun: repeating one basic truth about God each month. The lessons are wrapped up into one “bottom line” – a short phrase that is easy to remember and can be reinforced at home.
Parents receive relevant easy-to-use, age-appropriate materials from us to help teach the same concepts from Sunday morning throughout the week. We want kids to believe three basic truths:
- God loves me
- God made me
- Jesus wants to be my friend forever
Welcome! We are excited to welcome you and your child to GV preschool. We have priority parking available for guests right outside of our kids building (building E) off of Tammassee Lane. Our greeter team will happily assist you and your family as you get out of the car before escorting you to our kids check-in area.

When it’s time to pick-up your child from their small group parents will need to show their matching security label.

Sundays
GV Preschool 9:15 AM | Birth – 4K Childcare 10:30 AM
Babies
It’s never too early for a child to experience the love of Jesus. Our nursery volunteers are here each Sunday because they truly love babies. The Green Valley nursery provides a safe, clean, and nurturing environment where babies can relax and play.
Toddlers - 2K
In our toddler classes, we use small windows of playtime as opportunities to teach the children about their loving Heavenly Father. During this time we introduce the bottom line and reinforce the basic truth while engaging in age-appropriate play.
3K - 5K
Preschoolers engage in both small group and large group times. First, our preschoolers meet with loving small group leaders to connect with during playtime in their age-specific rooms. Then they head to large group in the Treehouse. Preschoolers and leaders come together to worship with singing and dancing, and to learn a Bible story told in a creative way.

FAQ
What time can I drop my child off?
Our rooms are open 15 minutes prior to regular scheduled services or on-campus activities that have prior reservations. We ask that a parent or responsible adult always remain on campus while your child is in our care.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Our rooms are stocked with everything your child could need during their time with us. However, if you choose to bring items from home: diaper bag, bottle/cup, pacifier, clothing, or blankets– please make sure they are properly labeled. Our check-in team will print out a label for your items. Please encourage your children to leave their personal toys at home. This will help avoid any confusion and will ensure your child’s special “treasures” are safe!
What if my child has special requirements for their care?
No problem. When you check-in through our system you will be able to note any special needs or allergies your child may have. We also have sign in sheets outside all of our infant and toddler classrooms. We ask that you take a moment and write down any information we might need to know pertaining to your child’s feeding, napping or changing schedule for that visit.

Please also let the caregiver know so they can help your child be as successful as possible. Make sure you send plenty of extra diapers, pull-ups or changes of clothes in case of accidents.
