Christian Preschool · Bay City, MI

Preschool in Bay City that builds confidence and curiosity.

Our 4-year-old GSRP preschool program gives your child a safe, loving, Christ-centered start—with small classes, caring teachers, and playful, hands-on learning that prepares them for kindergarten.

Our preschool program

One program, one loving start.

Class sizes are intentionally small so every child is known by name. Afternoon childcare is available, and children 6 weeks to 5 years old are welcome at our childcare center.

4-Year-Old GSRP Preschool

Monday–Thursday, 8:45 a.m.–3:45 p.m. · Optional faith time 8:00–8:45 a.m.

Our 4-year-old program uses daily learning centers that develop problem-solving skills and healthy social-emotional behavior. The day follows a comfortable routine with morning and afternoon snacks and an afternoon rest period—and the class takes part in community outreach. Breakfast and lunch are included.

  • Faith (optional, 8:00–8:45 a.m.): weekly Bible stories about the love of Jesus
  • Literacy: a letter of the week with themed centers, letter and sound recognition, and personal writing journals
  • Math: shapes, colors, and numbers through hands-on centers—sorting, comparing, and more
  • Science & social studies: letter-of-the-week experiments and seasonal themes
  • Music: singing, plus performing in the Christmas program
  • Field trips: examples include the Pumpkin Farm, the Zoo, and the Children’s Museum

Daily centers turn play into problem-solving.

Need care beyond preschool?
