CANNON PRESCHOOL
Mission
Cannon Church Preschool is a ministry of Cannon Church committed to embracing all the children in our community for their preschool experience. It is a vital ministry of the total church program to Cannon’s kids and to the children in the surrounding community. We build relationships with families as we journey together and experience God’s love.
Cannon Preschool offers an excellent preschool education balanced with creative play, exploration, and discovery. Our desire is for each child to have success in social, emotional, physical, cognitive and spiritual dimensions.
Choosing your child’s first experience in a school setting away from family and home is a very important decision. In respect of this marker in your child’s life, we are honored at the opportunity to be part of that first experience. Please contact us by phone or email to arrange a private tour of our premier facility.
Cindy Cares
Cindy Cares has partnered with Cannon Preschool to support children’s programs through the arts. The Cindy Cares Fund was created in memory of Cindy Conners. It was her wish that people donate to Cannon United Methodist Church to support and nurture the kids in her community. Click the image below to learn more about Cindy Cares.
