Christian principles are portrayed throughout our entire curriculum, which includes art, music, play, group times, language development, cooking, field trips, stories, chapel and more. We provide a well-balanced program that encourages positive social, emotional, spiritual, physical and cognitive development, and do so in a way that meets your child’s needs in an attentive and encouraging way.

Unlike many preschools, we feature lower teacher-to-child ratios than the minimum set by the State of California (one per twelve). We maintain smaller class sizes with a ratio of one teacher for every three to eight children, depending upon the ages of the children in each class. This allows us the opportunity to support your child’s needs in a much more personal and attentive manner.

Our highly qualified Christian staff members are trained and accredited in Early Childhood Education and Child Growth and Development as required by the State Department of Social Services. The school is directed by Michelle DuPrey and governed by the Board of Directors of Valley Community Church. Michelle has been a preschool teacher since 1980, a staff member since 1988, and full-time Director since 1991. Michelle has an A.A. Degree in Child Development and Education, an Early Childhood Education Certificate, and is an active member of numerous childhood education associations including CRNSDF, ACEI, NAEYC, ACTS and CRECEF.

Our facility is open year-round with the exception of legal holidays. Our half-day preschool program coordinates with the Newhall School District’s calendar. Therefore, students in the half-day program observe the same vacation days. For children enrolled in our full/extended daycare programs, we provide childcare during these vacation days, with the exception of legal holidays.

We cordially invite you to call us for more information, or to take a personal tour of our facility during the morning hours (by appointment please). We are confident that you will be pleased with our professional dedication to providing your child with the finest preschool and daycare environment possible. We are conveniently located in Newhall, directly behind (south of) the Vons supermarket at Wiley Canyon Road and Lyons Avenue.
