Early Childhood

The Christ the King Preschool is a partner with Des Moines Public and a part of the Iowa Universal Preschool Grant. Because of this, we are able to offer tuition-free preschool! 

We offer both morning and afternoon, preschool classes. Our preschool classes are in session five days a week. 

Our preschool day consists of a variety of learning opportunities within the whole group carpet time, small group learning, and individualized instruction. We focus on the social, emotional and academic growth of each child. It is important to give children many opportunities to succeed in each area. Children are also given choices into their own learning when it comes to our zone time. Zones are specific areas of our classrooms set up for children to learn and discover in their own form of play. Our zone time is a time where students can build, create, write, work on math and science skills and learn to socialize all through play and independent choice.
