Early Childhood
It's a place where the wonder of childhood is embraced and learning is fun and exciting. They will be entering into an environment where they are known and loved, where they will feel safe and welcomed.
We believe that each child is uniquely created by God. It is our delight and privilege to partner with you, their parents or guardians, in the discovery of who God made each of them to be. It starts with authentic relationships and continues through strategic development curriculums that prepare them to find delight and success in their Preschool - 12th-grade academic career and beyond.
EARLY CHILDHOOD RESOURCES
"I can't adequately describe how thankful I am to have my kids learning and growing in the amazing environment at Cole Valley Christian Schools! Each of my kids' teachers know them and genuinely care about seeing them reach their potential and grow in their relationship with Jesus."

Discover. Grow. Shine in God’s Love.
It is important for young children to develop a heart knowledge of God. In these early years, we have a special opportunity to speak directly to a child’s heart and help them begin to understand God’s foundational love. Our program is designed to give children their first look at the God who made them, loves them, and wants to be their friend forever. Through a rich, multi-sensory approach to learning, we nurture the whole child—spiritually, socially and emotionally, physically, relationally and academically—through purposeful play and hands-on experiences. We carefully monitor each child’s growth, providing individualized support while partnering with parents in their vital role as their child’s primary educator and spiritual leader.
Our Curriculum
At the heart of our program is a balance of spiritual growth and early learning excellence. Each part of our curriculum is intentionally chosen to nurture the whole child—mind, body, and spirit—through engaging, developmentally appropriate experiences.
Bible - Orange: First Look (Bible 252)
Our Bible curriculum is built around the belief that every child should know three simple, powerful truths: God made me, God loves me, and Jesus wants to be my friend forever. The First Look philosophy connects faith to everyday life, helping children develop a heart knowledge of God through Bible stories, worship, and hands-on activities that make learning about His love joyful and real.
Early Literacy - Zoo-Phonics & Heggerty Phonological Awareness
We combine movement, sound, and visual connections through Zoo-Phonics to introduce letter recognition and phonics in a fun, memorable way. Heggerty strengthens these skills by building phonological and phonemic awareness—important foundations for confident, lifelong readers.
Math - Building Number Sense
Children explore math through play and discovery—counting, comparing, sorting, and problem-solving in ways that help them understand numbers and patterns as part of God’s orderly world.
Writing - Learning Without Tears
Our writing program encourages proper pencil grip, letter formation, and early handwriting skills through multisensory, hands-on activities that make writing a positive and developmentally appropriate experience.
