Community

Wesley Preschool has been serving the community for over 40 years. We have certified and trained staff with high staff-to-child ratios and developmentally appropriate curriculum.

We are dedicated to providing a safe and loving atmosphere that challenges each child to explore and learn at their own pace, building a foundation for a lifetime of love for learning and creativity, enhancing positive self-esteem and loving care for others, experiencing the reality of Christ’s love and God’s creations, and working together with families to enhance their child’s unique development.  You can learn more on the preschool page.

Recognizing the need to serve the physically needs of the community we provide multiple opportunities to provide food to the community.
