About King's Kids Preschool
Caring, experienced teachers
Our families rave about the loving, personal attention our teachers give their children.
Low child to teacher ratios allow our teachers to nurture the physical, social, emotional, intellectual and spiritual development of every King's Kid.
Our dedicated, experienced teachers will lead your child through a theme-based curriculum based on FCPS and LCPS standards that explores science, reading, math and more through creative, hands-on projects and play.
Enriching programs
Every age group explores our weekly theme and letter of the alphabet through crafts and activities just right for them. Our program grows with your child each year to prepare them for Kindergarten and a lifetime of learning.
Students enjoy a special activity every day of the week. Our specials include Spanish, music and movement, chapel time led by Pastor Hank, library, physical fitness and yoga, plus STEM and iPad labs.
We also offer after-school classes in dance and sports to enrich and extend your preschooler's day and optional summer camp weeks after Memorial Day.
Serving our community for over 25 years
We offer a Christian-based, loving preschool learning environment for children from 1 to 5 years old.

Parent testimonials
Here are a few of the comments we've received from King's Kids parents:
"I cannot say enough good things about King's Kids Preschool. Both of my children have attended the entire program and loved it. Not only do they provide a caring environment where you feel comfortable leaving your child, but they provide a curriculum of "fun" learning for the children that really prepares them for Kindergarten." -- Sharon M., Great Falls
"My son is loving Kindergarten and doing great. We had his first parent teacher conference. On his reading DRA Word Analysis assessment, the benchmark for the Fall is 61/193 and he scored 187/193! He also did great on his math assessment. We really credit King's Kids Preschool and the great teachers there for his level of achievement. He had a wonderful experience at your preschool, and we thank you for preparing him so well!" -- Maria C., Great Falls
"We are so very fortunate that our friends told us about King's Kids Preschool. The teachers are so wonderful with our son and all of the children in his small class. King's Kids Preschool is a very special place that continues to exceed our expectations at every turn." -- Molly D., Vienna
"When I first enrolled my daughter in the preschool program at Christ the King Lutheran Church, I was really looking for a warm and nurturing environment, as we had recently moved to Great Falls from overseas. What she got was that and so much more! The school provided her (and my younger son), a curriculum that is balanced, giving the children a passion for learning, as well as a loving, family-type atmosphere that they look forward to every day. My daughter was so well-prepared for kindergarten this year after completing the pre-K program at KKP, and still loves to come back to visit her teachers here. I highly recommend King’s Kids Preschool, and I feel lucky to have found such a fantastic little school for my children to start their educations." -- Justine D., Great Falls
King's Kids Preschool Strives to Be a Nut-Free Program
The health and safety of our students is a priority and since many children suffer from food allergies, most particularly nut and peanut allergies, we have adopted the following Nut-Free Policy:
No food containing nuts or nut butter, or peanuts or peanut butter, shall be brought into the school. All lunches that children bring to school must be free of nuts. Parents must contact the Director before providing birthday treats or any food treats for a class.
