A Letter of Welcome to Weekday School Family
Dear Families and Friends,
It brings me great joy to extend a warm invitation to you and your precious little ones to discover the wonderful world of learning that awaits at our weekday program.
As the pastor of St. Matthew's, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible impact that quality early childhood education can have on young minds and hearts. Our preschool is more than just a place of learning—it's a nurturing community where children are loved, valued, and encouraged to grow in every aspect of their development.
What makes our weekday school special:
Our dedicated team of caring educators creates an environment where your child will flourish academically, socially, and spiritually. We believe that each child is a unique gift, and we're committed to helping them discover their individual talents and abilities through engaging activities, creative play, and meaningful relationships.
In our classrooms, children develop essential skills for kindergarten readiness while experiencing the joy of discovery. We integrate faith-based values naturally into our curriculum, teaching kindness, respect, and love for one another in age-appropriate ways.
We invite you to:

Whether you're seeking a strong academic foundation, a loving community, or a place where your child's spiritual development is nurtured alongside their intellectual growth, I believe you'll find our preschool to be a blessing to your family.
Please don't hesitate to contact our preschool office to arrange a tour or ask any questions you may have. We would be honored to be part of your child's educational journey and to welcome your family into our caring community.
With warm regards and blessings,
Pastor Gordon Pruitt
