  • My son attended Zion for two years for both preschool and summer camp. I cannot say enough good things about the staff and the quality of education he received. He was excited to go to school every day, and we saw immense growth in him over two years. The best thing about Zion was that every day I knew I was dropping him off with people who loved him. Sending him to Zion was one of the best decisions we have made, and we are sad to be leaving as he starts a new chapter as a Kindergartner.

  • Zion's ECEC holds a special place in our family's hearts. The teachers, the program, the traditions, and the welcoming spaces were a part of our lives for nearly 9 years. As a young family the preschool program provided our three kids with a warm and engaging program, loving teachers, and introduced us to lifelong friends! The flexibility to add programming and smaller size of the school was a great fit for our family. All three of our kids were well prepared for Kindergarten and owe much of their love of learning to their start at Zion ECEC!

  • Zion's ECEC is a very special place. When moving from the city with small children, finding a preschool program was our #1 priority. We loved the philosophy of Zion -- a balance of challenging educational instruction, free play, and Christian teachings. The teachers and administrators are lovely, smart, kind people. I also really appreciated the flexibility of programming. Walking in the door is like a welcoming hug. It is a wonderful organization and school community. My kids (now in elementary and middle school) still talk about their favorite Zion moments!

  • Both of my kids went to this amazing school. The teachers and staff are kind, wonderful and experienced, the environment is welcoming, and my kids were more than ready for kindergarten when the time came. The smaller environment makes it feel more personal and easy to get to know other parents and years later my kids remain and I friends with some of their classmates and their families to this day. I recommend Zion to anyone who asks me for a great preschool in the area.

  • We had the most wonderful experience at Zion. My family is not from the area, and we were welcomed into the school with open arms. My girls and our family made lifelong friendships. The teachers all lead with kindness and patience , and prioritized play and imagination. We are so glad we chose Zion for preschool!

    Sarah LeStrangeJan 2, 2026
  • Our two children attended Zion ECEC for a total of 4 years enjoying the 2 year old room all the way through each class thereafter. All the teachers and the Director are the kindest, most loving people you could ever meet. They fill each child's day with such joy and wonder. The classrooms and playground are filled with so many fun, non-screen activities, that help kids learn and grow in a calm and educational environment. The sense of community at Zion is tied together through monthly chapel offerings to help kids understand the importance of helping others through various non profit work and well as helping kids to understand the importance of Jesus in their lives. I highly encourage families to tour Zion and see what we absolutely loved it there!
