Preschool

Little Flower Preschool
We believe that each child is a unique gift shared with us by God and parents.  
Each has special talents, needs and feelings.  It is our goal to nurture your child 
as an extension of your family and a member of God’s family.  We will strive 
to do our best to make each child and family comfortable and secure within 
our system.  We look forward to being a part of your child’s early education.  
Our staff will be willing to answer any questions and help in any way you feel 
necessary.  Any educational experience will benefit the child the most when 
there is a cooperative effort shared by parents and school.  Contact us whenever 
you need, 792-2016.  Our teacher is a fully certified teacher and licensed through 
the state of Michigan.
