Welcome to Mt. Elizabeth Academy’s Private Pre-Kindergarten program, lovingly referred to as ‘Private Pre-K.’ Nestled in the heart of Kennesaw, our Christian daycare center embraces a faith-based approach to childcare, offering an affordable Christian childcare solution and proudly standing as the best Privare Pre-K in Kennesaw.

Our Private Pre-K is a special space where formal learning takes its first exciting steps. It’s a year filled with exploration, growth, new friendships, and, of course, lots of fun! Rooted in a theme-based, whole-child approach, we lay the foundation for literacy and math fundamentals, showcasing the interconnectedness of math, science, reading, and writing.

Our Pre-K class is perfect for students who are ready for a more structured program, but not yet age appropriate for Kindergarten. We emphasize Kindergarten readiness, while still ensuring the students have fun every day. Students will focus on the key areas of:

  • Appreciation
  • Enthusiasm
  • Cooperation
  • Creativity
  • Confidence
  • Curiosity
  • Integrity
  • Empathy
  • Independence
  • Respect

Private Pre-K Highlights

Days in our Private Pre-K are brimming with enchanting stories, letters, phonics, numbers, writing exercises, and a myriad of activities. From captivating art projects to delving into science topics, learning writing skills to pre-reading and phonics, we tailor our curriculum to engage and inspire. Our goal is to see our Private Pre-K students from Kennesaw leave with not just academic readiness but also a robust sense of independence, fully equipped for the transition to Kindergarten.

Creating an environment that sparks adventure and exploration is pivotal in our approach. Through a curriculum designed to foster creativity and critical thinking, we guide children in making sense of their world, laying the groundwork for a lifetime of learning.

In our community, every Private Pre-K child is seen as a capable and competent member. We cultivate an atmosphere of respect, tolerance, and acceptance, nurturing personal growth. Through observation and interactions, we guide them to embrace both successes and failures, building communication and negotiation skills from an early age.

Our dedicated teachers, caring and committed, ensure a safe and loving environment for our students. Thematic focus in the curriculum provides myriad opportunities for exploration, information absorption, and holistic growth—physically and mentally.

Parents play an integral role, staying connected throughout the day via our secure Brightwheel App. Regular updates, pictures, and videos provide glimpses into their child’s experiences, affirming that they are in a loving, caring, and supportive environment.

As part of our commitment to well-being, two healthy and nutritious meals, along with two snacks, are included in the cost of tuition. Our monthly menu, available online and shared at the beginning of each month, ensures transparency. Private Pre-K students enjoy meals family-style with friends, fostering social interactions. Whole milk and water complement these delightful culinary moments.

Choose Mt. Elizabeth Academy for a Private Pre-K experience that goes beyond traditional education—a journey where faith, learning, and love converge, setting the stage for a lifetime of curiosity, exploration, and success.
