    You should put in an application as soon as you know you are expecting. Our Infant age group is one of the highest in demand and can be difficult to get into. The more notice we have the better your chances.

    Preschool and Daycare closing announcements will be made on our Facebook page, Class Dojo, and on News Channel 5. Every effort will be made to have these closings posted no later than 6:00 am.  Please do not assume that the Preschool and Daycare will be closed because the local public schools close. The television station listed above will show South Haven Christian Preschool Closed or Snow Care Open. Our Snow Care hours of operation are from 8:00 am - 4:00 pm.

  • What if my child has a food allergy?

    We are a PEANUT FREE facility in the Preschool and Daycare. If your child has a food allergy to the food we provide then a substitution can be made for students with that food allergy. Parents may also choose to pack a lunch. 

  • What Curriculum do you use and when do you start the curriculum?

    We use the Abeka curriculum out of Pensacola Christian College. We start the curriculum in the 2-year-old class. However, in the infants and ones, we do read to the kids and do other developmentally appropriate activities to help them learn and grow.

  • If my child's birthdate is on or after August 15th, which class would my child be enrolled in?

    For preschool age children (ages 2 and up), they are put in the class according to their birthday on or before August 15th. For example: If your child is 3 and turns 4 after August 15th, they would be enrolled in the 3-year-old class. If your child is 3 and turns 4 on or before August 15th, they would be enrolled in the 4-year-old class. We start this cut-off in the 2-year-olds moving to the 3-year-olds and continue through the 4-year-olds. (This does not pertain to infants, 1-year-olds, or younger 2-year-olds) This is to help your child be on schedule for school and to help your child form friendships with children they will promote with.

  • What type of security do you offer?

    Our building is locked down 24/7. Upon enrollment, each family receives two access cards and can purchase more if they so choose. We also have an on-site security team who frequently walks around checking on doors, staff, and children. We practice fire drills on a monthly basis and also have storm drills, active shooter drills, lockdown drills, and evacuation drills.

  • Are children required to be up-to-date on immunizations?

    The Tennessee Department does not require that your child have up-to-date immunizations. However, they do require your child to be seen by a physician each year and you need to write a letter stating why you have chosen to not vaccinate your child. We as a program believe it is the parent's choice. 

  • What is your sick policy?

    Upon enrollment, you will receive a full sick policy handout. For most illnesses, we require a full 24 hours free of fever, vomiting, diarrhea, or medication and/or a full 24 hours on prescription medication. 

  • Will my child have an opportunity to play outside year round?

    The Tennessee Department of Education allows us to go outside between the temperatures of 32-95 degrees, taking into account the wind chill and heat index. 


    *We as a program also leave this up to the teacher of your child's class. If they believe it is too hot or too cold, then they can choose to stay inside or go to our indoor gymnasium.
