Preschool - East Glenville Christian Preschool was established in 1963 as a non-profit, non-denominational Christian School which is open to all. The Preschool is a ministry of East Glenville Community Church. Our main goal is to teach Christian values through practical situations with the use of Bible stories, music, and prayer. Our other objective is to prepare the children for future learning by introducing basic concepts and social skills in a variety of ways so they will have a positive attitude for learning. We desire to meet the special needs of each child for love and encouragement, giving them an opportunity to know God and His love, and the skills to interact with their peers in a positive way.

The Preschool is open from mid-September until late May. We follow the Burnt Hills - Ballston Lake school calendar from holidays and closing for snow days.

3 Year Old Classes meet Monday and Tuesday, 9 - 11:30 am
4 Year Old Classes meet Wednesday through Friday, 9 - 11:30 or 12:30 - 3 pm

Our teachers are experienced in working with children and are Christian women who care for the children in a loving way. Our goal is to have an adult for every 5-6 three year olds and for every 6-7 four year olds.

Interested? Come to our Open House, arrange a visit to observe a class, or call for more information (399-6894). Registration begins in January for the following school year. Classes fill up quickly, so apply early.

Nursery - The EGCC Nursery is open and staffed every Sunday morning for church service, and also during many other church events, for children 4 years old and under. Our goal is to provide a safe, friendly environment where the love of Christ is evident and parents can feel comfortable leaving their children while they spend time in worship.

Jr. Church - Junior Church is held during a portion of the Sunday worship service. Children 4 years old through 4th grade are excused during the second half of the service and receive a Bible lesson at their own level. This often includes a game, craft or activity that helps the children be involved in an active way in understanding the message that they are being taught. There are 2 classes - one for those 4 years old through 1st grade and one for those in grades 2-4.

Sonshine Singers -Whether in rehearsal or during our worship services, the boys and girls in Sonshine Singers are encouraged to sing and worship God with their hearts, minds, and voices. We also hope to teach some of the basic components of written music and good vocal techniques. Each time a new song is introduced to the children, they will be given a copy of the song lyrics and a Bible verse to take home with them. We are hopeful that the boys and girls would memorize each verse as a way of connecting God's Word with the songs they are learning. All children from Kindergarten through 4th grade are welcome and encouraged to join in practice during Wednesday Nite Program.
"Sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done marvelous things." (Psalm 98:1)

Friday Nite Alive - For children in kindergarten through 4th grade. Friday Nite Alive is a fun-filled program from 6:30 - 8:00 pm, usually on the third Friday of the Month from October through May. This is a time for games, a Bible message, crafts, snacks, and music planned around a theme. It offers the opportunity for kids to interact with each other in a safe and supervised church environment.
