about Preschool

“My goal is to make it harder for you to leave them, than for your child to leave you.”

— Kate, Preschool Director

“Having all three of my children attend the preschool has been such a wonderful experience for our family. I was so grateful for the flexibility to choose a schedule that worked for us. Each of my kids loved their time there, and I always felt they were known, cared for, and loved.”

— Melissa Fehrmann

We believe in Open Communication

We encourage a respectful and open dialogue with the families we serve. Through daily and weekly communication, we aim to involve parents in their children’s day to day experiences. Our goal is to provide a campus where parents, teachers and administrators partner together to ensure the success of each student we serve. Some of the tools we use to help communicate are as follows:

Lunch is cooked in an “A” rated kitchen for children 3+ years old, for an extra fee. Parents may either bring a lunch or purchase hot lunches in advance.

Snacks – Morning & Afternoon snacks are provided.

Our teacher to child ratio is exceptionally low. With at least two full-time teachers to a classroom, our teachers can build a closer relationship with each student.

Discipline is based on positive guidance, teaching children conflict resolution skills and the Love & Logic approach of natural consequences, along with Conscious Discipline.

Intentionally loving and caring Christian atmosphere.

By scheduling special guests, field trips and community partnerships, we encourage our students to understand and respect the world around them.

Nap Time – We are required by Licensing to offer a Nap/Rest time in each class. If your child chooses to stay awake, we can offer them quiet activities to complete on their nap mats.

Potty training is provided in our Beginners and Jr Preschool classrooms. Children MUST be potty trained to enter Preschool & Pre-K.

A Parent’s Perspective

“My son has been attending since he was just under two years old. They genuinely care about the students’ overall growth as human beings. A child’s spiritual growth is treated with as much importance as their academic excellence.”

— Katie C.

Meet Our Preschool Director

Hi, I’m Kate, and I am so excited and honored to be entering my second year as the Preschool Director at Cornerstone Christian Academy and Preschool!

After graduating from the University of Nevada, Reno, I jumped into the world of entrepreneurship and started my own business. For many years, I had the joy of owning and operating a children’s bakery and tea room. I absolutely loved creating a fun, welcoming space for children and families, and that experience taught me so much about working with children, building community, and making every child feel special.

My own children eventually started attending Cornerstone Preschool, and it didn’t take long for me to fall in love with the school and its Christ-centered mission. I truly believe God has a way of placing us exactly where we are meant to be, and I knew He was calling me to Cornerstone.

I started my Cornerstone journey as a Busy Bees teacher, and that classroom will always hold such a special place in my heart. To now serve as the Preschool Director feels like such a full-circle blessing, and I am incredibly honored to be in this role.

I love getting to know our families, cheering on our teachers, and creating a preschool experience where children feel loved, supported, and excited to learn. Most of all, I am passionate about creating a place where we can build little disciples, scholars, and leaders while showing our children the love of Jesus every day.

I am so thankful to be part of the Cornerstone family and cannot wait to see what God has in store for this year!
