All teachers in the preschool program have earned their child development associate (CDA) credentials and are CPR-certified. Children have a weekly music class, and bi-weekly Bible story and exercise class. Children enjoy the alphabet-based weekly themes, special guests (i.e., the fireman, dentist, etc.), science, Handwriting without Tears, estimating, and field trips that the Fours and Pre-K classes take. (Pre-K takes a monthly field trip.)

Children’s Worship and Wonder
One of the important ministries to children at Allisonville Christian Church is our Children Worship and Wonder (CWW) program. CWW offers an exciting way to approach faith formation with children. The approach recognizes children as spiritual beings who already have a relationship with God. They hear Bible stories in a way that allows them to become a part of the stories and form responses out of their own life experiences. It encourages curiosity, spontaneity, and joy. This is a program that is becoming more and more a part of all Disciples congregation. CWW uses a Montessori-based approach and often works well with children who have attention deficit problems.
