Children 2 1/2-4 years old
Classroom teachers will allow for interactive play throughout the day where children can develop a sense of initiative and begin to feel secure in making decisions. Our preschool curriculum focuses on preparing children for Kindergarten. Children will learn their alphabet and numbers through various teacher-led, student-led, large group, and small group activities.

Faith Clark has been a dedicated member of the Heaven’s Elect team since 2021. She holds an Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Mid-Michigan Community College and brings over four years of experience working with young children in infant, toddler and preschool settings.
Growing up in a large family, Faith has always been surrounded by children and developed a natural passion for nurturing and teaching from an early age. Her experience extends beyond the classroom through years of service in her church’s children’s ministry. Faith believes that every child, regardless of age or developmental stage, has a remarkable capacity to learn and grow. In the classroom, she fosters a warm, hands-on learning environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and meaningful exploration.
Faith’s faith plays a central role in her approach to teaching. She views each child as a unique and precious gift from God and strives to reflect His love, patience, and care in her daily interactions. As a follower of Jesus, she feels truly blessed to have the opportunity to guide and nurture God’s little ones.
