Kids of the Kingdom Preschool

Look at all these students showing off their school pride by wearing their school shirts on KOK Spirit Day!

Our 4’s pre k classes love STEAM days! The Frogs incorporate balancing skills while counting. The Penguins learn about engineering by building 3D structures. The Bears work with apples and ramps to learn about momentum. Building minds and having fun is the KOK way!

KOK kids attend weekly chapel where they learn about God’s love for us and the world around us. This month, Pastor David is focusing on the theme: “God Provides For Us”

With the support of our families, this year we sold $4387.98 in Scholastic books at our annual book fair. Thank you to all of the grandparents that came out for the first Grandparent Breakfast. We plan to continue this special event in the future!
