Play, Learn and Grow Together

A Nurturing Place for Children to Learn and Grow

Early childhood should be a time of fun, warmth, security, exploring, and discovery. Preschool children are creative and receptive. Our staff strives to nurture these qualities in the children who attend Jack & Jill Preschool/Extended Care. Our curriculum provides developmentally appropriate activities and materials as well as an atmosphere that encourages the social, emotional, physical, spiritual and cognitive growth and development of the whole child. We at Jack & Jill Preschool/Extended Care seek to develop the whole child on the following levels:

Child Care — Preschool Children in Leavenworth, KS

PHYSICAL

We assist children in the development of both gross and fine motor skills. Climbing, running, jumping, teacher-directed games, balance beams, balls, cutting, painting, writing and play dough all help to develop gross and fine motor skills.

EMOTIONAL

We foster the development of social skills and self-confidence through individual and group interaction, by nurturing and recognizing feelings, participation in holiday parties, special days, field trips, individual and group activities and other special events.

COGNITIVE

We strive to develop critical thinking skills, reasoning and creativity through the use of songs and finger plays, stories, science and nature activities, creative art and games. We introduce the children to the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, and music.

SPIRITUAL

We share Bible stories, songs, and prayers with the idea of teaching children that they are special because of God’s love. Each week, each class will attend Chapel in the Sanctuary.

Our Story and Our Staff

Jack & Jill Preschool/Extended Care was established by Bernie Roller in her home in 1968. She moved the preschool to the First Christian Church in 1979. Jack & Jill Preschool has been serving the community for over 45 years. It was the first preschool in the city of Leavenworth. In 1991 an extended care program was added to the preschool to meet the needs of the community. It is licensed by the State of Kansas Department of Health and complies with all the standards put forth by the state. A volunteer preschool board from the First Christian Church and salaried Directors govern this center. A qualified teacher teaches each class.
