Raising Arrows Academy
Raising Arrows Academy is a licensed, Christ-centered preschool for children ages 3–5 where faith, learning, and play come together.
Through purposeful play, hands-on learning, and a nurturing environment, children are encouraged to grow academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually as they build a strong foundation for kindergarten and beyond.
About Raising Arrows Academy
At Raising Arrows Academy, we believe young children learn best through play, exploration, relationships, and meaningful experiences.
As a licensed preschool program, we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and high-quality early learning environment. Our classrooms are led by qualified early childhood educators who understand how young children learn and develop.
We combine developmentally appropriate early childhood education with intentional Christian teaching in an environment where children are known, loved, encouraged, and challenged to grow.
Our Curriculum
Raising Arrows Academy uses Experience Preschool Curriculum, a hands-on, play-based curriculum designed to help young children learn through exploration, creativity, relationships, and meaningful experiences.
Throughout the day, children participate in learning stations, art, stories, music and movement, STEAM experiences, small-group activities, outdoor exploration, and other developmentally appropriate learning opportunities that help build the skills they need for kindergarten and beyond.
Experience God
Faith isn't just one part of our day at Raising Arrows Academy — it's woven into who we are.
Through Experience God, children engage with age-appropriate Bible stories, prayer, music, conversations, and hands-on activities that help them discover who God is and how much He loves them.
Throughout the preschool day, we also look for natural opportunities to encourage and model kindness, compassion, gratitude, forgiveness, and love for others.
Our goal is for children to leave Raising Arrows Academy prepared for their next educational step while growing academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
A Day at Raising Arrows
Our days are intentionally designed to balance learning, play, faith, creativity, movement, and rest.
Children enjoy a predictable daily rhythm that includes morning circle and Bible time, hands-on learning stations, art, STEAM and small-group experiences, outdoor play and exploration, stories, music and movement, meals, rest, and plenty of opportunities for purposeful play.
With full-day care from 7:00 AM–6:00 PM, our mornings begin with a relaxed arrival and breakfast, followed by our core preschool learning experiences. Afternoons provide time for rest, continued exploration, outdoor play, and engaging activities as children transition home for the day.
Daily activities and timing may vary based on children's needs, weather, classroom experiences, and special activities.
