At Deermeadows Preschool, are dedicated to providing your child an early childhood education experience. They will learn new skills that will foster their mental and physical development.
We offer several Enrichment classes to our preschoolers:

  • PreK 4’s visit the S.T.E.A.M. Lab weekly.

She rotates resources (toys, books, manipulatives, puzzles, etc.) weekly for each teacher based on the teacher’s lesson plans. Your child will always have new materials available to them in their classroom learning centers.
  • Weekly Peek Sheet: Each week, teachers send home a Peek Sheet that provides an overview of what will be happening in class the next week.
  • Each class has a private Facebook Group for parents to build the classroom community and provide a look into what the children are doing at school.
  • After Care classes enjoy Art Class and S.T.E.A.M. Lab weekly.

Philosophy & Mission

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.   Proverbs 22:6
Established in 1989, Deermeadows Preschool offers a warm, nurturing environment that compares to none other. It is our sincere desire to make a major contribution to your child's overall personal development - socially, emotionally, intellectually, physically, and spiritually. Our school is highly respected among preschool educational programs in the city of Jacksonville.
The mission of Deermeadows Preschool is to minister to the children and families of our community by presenting a developmentally appropriate Christian education, and to lay a foundation for a relationship with Jesus Christ in a loving, safe, and nurturing environment.
We believe that...
  • Each child was designed by God for a purpose.
  • Providing a strong biblically based age-appropriate curriculum enables each child to develop mentally, physically, spiritually, socially, and emotionally.
  • Children feel safe and secure in an atmosphere of Christian Love.
  • Through age appropriate experiences, children develop an appreciation of work, play, and learning. The love of God, love for others and love for themselves.
  • Children develop self esteem through creative self expression.
