Southport Baptist Weekday Preschool

The mission of Southport Baptist Church Weekday Preschool is to encourage preschoolers to develop socially, physically, mentally, emotionally, morally, and spiritually, toward their God-given potential. The Weekday Preschool Program runs a half dayprogram during the school year from 8:30am to 12:00pm, Monday through Friday for students age 2 to 5. We also have a Mothers' Morning Out program Monday and Friday for 1 year old's. As a ministry of Southport Baptist Church since 1974, the Preschool has provided a nurturing environment in which preschoolers can develop socially through play with other children. By encouraging communication skills, sharing, and getting along with others in large and small groups, we strive to develop responsible behavior. Our staff will provide situations in which each preschooler can succeed in order to develop a healthy selfconcept. Southport Baptist Weekday Preschool helps to prepare preschoolers for formal schooling and introduces them to developing appropriate life skills.

It is the desire of the preschool to work closely with our preschool families. Our goal is to empower children during their early years to build a Christian foundation for a lifetime of learning.… Read more
