Why Start a Church Preschool?

We are not tenants. The enCourage Preschool Success Team is committed to you and your church vision. We want to help you thrive in your community, reach new families through their kids and expand the Kingdom, while creating new revenue streams to further the mission of your church by starting a preschool at your church.

our process

We Start Thriving Preschools in Churches Nationwide

Managing a preschool is hard enough, and launching a brand new center can feel overwhelming. We partner with churches across the U.S. to provide the support they need for launching a thriving preschool from their existing venue.

  • Focus on the families in your community instead of managing a preschool business.
  • Start an irresistible school environment that keeps kids excited and educated with excellence.
  • Provide a spiritual anchor for young families in your community.

We understand the unique challenges faced by leaders like you. That’s why we have a simple five-step process. You’ll know exactly what to expect, what’s next and how long it should take.

Our Families Love Our Preschools

“I can't say enough about this little school! The teachers gave us a dream experience for our first year of preschool (3 year old). The director is amazing as well. She goes out of her way and knows every child at the school! Would highly recommend!”
