Who we are...
FHPC Preschool is part of Forest Hills Church and a part of their mission to the community it serves. We believe that every child is created and loved by God, as declared in the Old and New Testaments and revealed in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to provide an atmosphere that allows the preschool child to experience God's love and a program that expands the preschooler's social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual growth. Being NAEYC (National Association for the Education of Young Children) accredited for over 25 years and part of Michigan's Great Start to Quality program ensures parents that they are choosing an outstanding preschool program.
The 2024-2025 school year marks the preschool's 40th year of operation! Each year we provide a nurturing, Christian preschool experience for approximately 70 children.
