Joyful, Active Learning for Kids
At Hope West Des Moines Preschool children are engaged in active, joyful learning surrounded by loving teachers and friends. It’s a Christian atmosphere of warmth, understanding and caring – a place for your child to be seen as the special person God so lovingly created. It’s a place where learning is fun and meaningful.
Weekly class schedule!
Preschool for 3-year-olds meets two days per week, either Mondays and Wednesdays or Tuesdays and Thursdays. Preschool for 4-year-olds meets Mondays – Thursdays either in the morning or afternoons. Transitional kindergarten for children age 5 runs Mondays – Thursdays from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm.
Learning is fun!
We know that learning is everywhere: in the flicker of a firefly, in the creeping of a quiet spider, in the warmth of a hug. God has blessed children with the joyous gift of learning, and we celebrate that gift at Hope West Des Moines Preschool!
Mark your calendars!
Hope’s preschool program runs from the first day after Labor Day through mid-May, with holiday breaks that coincide with the public school calendar. You won’t want to miss all the special events like the open house, holiday parties, firefighter visits, picture day and so much more! Each classroom also has a schedule of daily activities that will be provided by the teachers.
