Our Mission:
"Helping Children Become"
At Belmont Christian Preschool, we are committed to providing high-quality education, delivered with care and compassion. Our curriculum is designed to encourage all aspects of your child’s development, including cognitive, physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. We believe that children learn best through hands-on, play-based activities that challenge them to explore and grow. Our purpose is to inspire a lifelong love of learning in every child that we serve.
Who We Are
Belmont Christian Preschool is a ministry of Upper Room Belmont, located in the educational wing of First Baptist Church in Belmont. Each member of our staff believes in the power of the next generation, and believes a strong educational and moral foundation is crucial in their formative years.
