A local preschool program is celebrating a milestone anniversary this September.

Noah’s Ark Preschool is a weekday ministry based at Cypress Bible Church that operates Monday through Thursday from 8:50 a.m.-2 p.m. for children ages 18 months-5 years old.

Marking a milestone

To celebrate the preschool’s 40th anniversary, an open house will be held on campus from 5:30-7:30 p.m. on Sept. 24. Festivities include a book fair, balloon artists, face painters and a silent auction, among other activities.

“We would love for the community to know that we’ve been providing a safe Christian environment for children to grow intellectually, socially, emotionally and spiritually for 40 years. We consider it a privilege to partner with parents in nurturing their children during the preschool years,” Director Kelly Prewitt said in an email.
