St. Matthew's Church and Preschool welcome your interest in our program. St. Matthew's Preschool, an outreach program, is a developmentally-based, early childhood program designed to meet the social, emotional, spiritual, cognitive, and physical needs of preschoolers within a safe and structured Christian setting. The preschool accepts children of the church and community, ages 15 months-5 years.

St. Matthew’s 1 and 2 year old program (MMO) is unique in that our mothers are required to participate as aides in the classroom. Each class has a staff teacher as well as a mother in attendance. This allows us to keep our costs and, as a result, our tuition at a minimum.
