      The Crossroads Preschool Ministry

      We commit to providing the following to the children in our care:

      Meaningful Learning Experiences for Little Ones

      We encourage children to explore and have fun in the rich environment we’ve created for them. We help them learn on their level with joy and delight.

      Kindergarten Readiness

      We give children a foundational, hands-on introduction to literacy, math, and science. We help them become curious, confident, eager learners who meet the expectations of kindergarten today.

      Obedience to God

      God is our authority in everything we do. We strive to glorify him in every part of the preschool day.

      Partnership with Families

      We work with parents and caregivers to help children grow into all that God created them to be.

      Our Commitment to Early Childhood Excellence

      At Crossroads Preschool, we do everything possible to deliver the best Christian education for pre-K children in the Pittsburgh area:

      Guide Children in Seven Areas of Development

      Cognitive

      We engage all five senses, nurture children’s imaginations, and help them discover and understand the world at their level.

      Creative

      We introduce children to the creative arts with crafts and songs and help them make their own special masterpieces. 

      Emotional

      We model warmth, gratitude, respect, integrity, grace, compassion, and self-control. 

      Language

      We read and share stories, ask and encourage questions, and put words into everything we see and do.

      Physical

      We support fine and gross motor skills through toys, play, movement, and helping each other with tasks.

      Social

      We lead children in how to be aware of others, how to make and be a friend, and how to play well together.

      Spiritual

      We thank and praise God throughout the day for the world he created and for his son, Jesus Christ. We strive to show the children that God made them in his image and loves them very much.

      Outstanding Curriculum

      Our preschool curriculum, Frog Street, helps guide the next generation of children to success through research-based early childhood curriculum. Kids will learn literacy, math, STEAM, and social emotional development throughout the year with Frog Street. Oh, and they’ll have FUN, too!

        Build a Foundation for Lifelong Learning

        Early childhood experiences are critical in shaping future success. With our focus in the seven areas of development, we help children build confidence, strength, and empathy. This equips them to thrive in kindergarten, in the primary and secondary grades, and into adulthood.

        Provide Top-Notch Security

        Every member of our staff — all teachers, administration, assistants, and volunteers — have passed all background checks. All have clearances that guarantee no history of criminal activity or child abuse.

        Uphold State and Local Standards

        Crossroads Preschool officially and properly prepares each child for kindergarten. Our learning objectives and curriculum are written in compatibility with:

        • The Pennsylvania Department of Education’s Common Core State Standards.
        • The area school districts where we’re located (West Allegheny and Upper St. Clair)

        Our History

        Crossroads Preschool opened its doors to children in the fall of 1996, at our Pittsburgh West location. Our initial two classes were filled, and we’ve been expanding ever since to meet the needs of growing families in our church and in the surrounding community. Today the preschool is the Early Childhood Education Ministry of Crossroads Church. We teach 11 classes and have added a second location at our Pittsburgh South campus. Our mission is to provide pre-kindergarten-aged children in the Pittsburgh area with a strong and positive foundation for learning through the love of Jesus Christ.
