TCAA Preschool Ministry
New Parent, Pre-K and Kindergarten
Connecting new parents and young lives to a mature walk with Christ
We provide a thoughtful, safe and supportive haven for young parents and new lives to be welcomed, nurtured, and discipled. The new-parent stage of life comes with unique challenges, and we understand that rest is a precious commodity for you. We are excited to provide you with mental, physical, and spiritual rest as you enter our doors. We can’t wait to begin discipling both you and your little one!
A guiding inquiry for all of our pre-adult ministries is, “If a child were raised here, what would we want to have instilled in him or her by adulthood? What would a successful discipleship journey mean for that child’s life?”
We believe Scripture provides a unified, compelling, and achievable answer: Well-trained Christians live like Jesus lived (1 John 2:6, Eph. 4:13-15, John 15:5-8). Our commitment to you is to hold every interaction we have with your child—from Preschool to High School graduation—against that end goal, honing our touches on his or her life to launch a confident, clear, and compelling disciple-maker into a righteous adult future.
Embark on this journey with us, and we will partner with you to raise a well-trained disciple!
Safety & Learning FAQs
-
We are committed to the safety of every child in our care, at all times. All of our children’s areas are closely monitored by an extensive camera system and a designated security team. Our volunteers are each screened and trained through Protect My Ministry, and our teacher-to-child ratios are always strictly enforced. We also utilize a secure check-in system that ensures your child is only ever released to you!

Even at young ages, we believe that children can be discipled. All of our learning curriculum focuses on helping kids memorize key Scriptures, learn foundational truths about God's love and character, and equip them with knowledge of Bible stories and personal ways to experience God and serve Him.
