Whispering Pines SDA School

"Take a stand! Be an example" 1 Timothy 4:12

Preschool

At Whispering Pines Preschool, we believe that the early years are the foundation of a child’s life. Our program offers a nurturing, Christ-centered environment designed to support spiritual, intellectual, physical, social, and emotional growth. Rooted in the educational philosophy of the North American Division of Seventh-day Adventists, we aim to help each child grow in love, faith, and readiness for the next steps in learning.

Our Philosophy: We provide a balanced program that blends play-based exploration with structured academic learning. Through hands-on experiences and intentional instruction, children develop critical early skills in a joyful, safe, and encouraging setting. Bible stories, memory verses, prayer, and song are integrated throughout the day to support spiritual development and build Christian character.
