SOTH Preschool Registration for 2009-2010 is going on now! Classes for children 6 months—4 years old. Did you know that graduates of SOTH Preschool test exceptionally well on skill and development tests? Many are in the gifted program at their elementary schools. Our teachers respect and love children. Children in the 4 year old class learn to recognize some words before they graduate and enter kindergarten. Preschool is an important developmental step for a child. They learn social and cognitive skills. For some children, this is the only place they hear about Jesus and God. Please tell your friends and neighbors about the great Preschool at SOTH!!


The Preschool will also be open for Summer Play dates for children 6 months old through 4 years old. Tuesday and Thursdays from 9 AM—Noon. Pay a $50 deposit to hold your spot and the deposit is applied to June tuition. We will only have 10 spots. For more information email johari@sothumc.net or call 678-715-0513
