About Our Preschool
Li’l Lions Preschool is Greater Portland Christian School’s state-licensed program for children ages three (nursery school) and four (preschool). It is designed to start children on a lifelong journey of age-appropriate, joyful learning based on the biblical perspective, as well as to prepare them for our kindergarten program. Children are taught by trained, caring teachers in a nurturing, Christian environment.
What Our Children Experience
Some of the activities our preschoolers experience include:
Bible stories | Learning centers | Music and Art | Books and puzzles |
Reading readiness | Story time | Field trips | Weekly themes and letters |
Math readiness | Science | Active play and gym | Show and Tell |
Our program is based on the same basic Christian values as Greater Portland Christian School. Weekly chapel time includes a Bible lesson and singing. Our children enjoy daily Bible lessons and prayer. We want them to understand that God loves and cares for them.
