About Bethesda Christian Preschool & Our Mission
Bethesda Christian Preschool is a ministry of Bethesda Baptist Church. We opened our doors in 1964 and are so thankful to continue serving families today! Many things have changed over the last fifty years, but our mission remains the same! Our mission is to serve families in the Raleigh Durham area by providing the best care possible. Proverbs 22:6 states to "train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he will not depart from it" and our desire is to support families in doing just that. Here at BCP, we provide quality preschool education that meets the spiritual, mental and physical needs of the children in our care. Most importantly, we partner with parents in leading children to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Statement of Educational Philosophy
Our preschool offers an enriched program, meeting the highest standard of early childhood education. We believe that children should first and foremost be loved and accepted unconditionally. Furthermore, children should be given the appropriate support to develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually.
