Station Race

You can support our mission by donating to the KIDS EXPRESS STATION RACE!

On Wednesday, October 30th, we will hold our KIDS EXPRESS STATION RACE to raise funds for Science materials for indoor and outdoor exploration,  gross motor activities for the gym, and other essential educational needs. These tools help with large-muscle motor skill development which is vital to a child’s growth in reading and writing skills. The area of science is also important for the exploration of the world God designed. 

Our goal this year is $8,000 or $140 per family.   During our Station Race, the children completed four different stations over the period of an hour.
If you donate $50 or more, a poster with your donation and the name of child you are sponsoring will be displayed at the Station Race as a sign of encouragement. 

To receive recognition, donations of $50 or more must be made by Wednesday, October 23rd (in order for the posters to be made). 

If you do not wish to make an online donation, you may mail your donation to: Kids Express Preschool, 300 Willow Valley Square, Lancaster, PA 17601
Thank you for your generosity!

Fees for credit card gifts:  We accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.  There is a 3.5% + 15 cents fee for credit card gifts. You will receive an e-receipt if you provide an email address when making your donation.

This class comes for two days per week.

The development of socialization skills is an integral part of our students growth. The children learn to interact with their peers and teachers by communicating their needs, ideas, concerns, and frustrations. They also learn to respect their classmates as well as their teachers. In addition to the focus on social skills, we introduce an academic program which includes pre-reading, basic math, letter recognition, shapes, colors, and sequencing. Fine and gross motor activities help children be ready for the various tasks. Bible lessons are taught through Bible stories, life lessons and chapel. We offer a two-day and three-day program.

Pre-K Program

We offer a three-day and four-day program. Regardless of which class you choose, your child will be prepared for Kindergarten.
