Nurturing Young Hearts & Minds
Christ-Centered Preschool Education in Las Vegas
Welcome to Awaken Christian Academy Preschool, a ministry of Awaken Church Las Vegas! We are committed to providing an exceptional early childhood experience in a loving, nurturing, and Christ-centered environment where children are encouraged to grow, learn, and flourish.
At ACA Preschool, faith is at the heart of everything we do. We consider it a privilege to partner with parents in laying a strong spiritual foundation and helping young children begin to understand God’s love, His Word, and His purpose for their lives. Our carefully selected and dedicated staff are committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where every child is known, valued, and encouraged to thrive.
Our developmentally appropriate, Bible-based curriculum is designed to inspire curiosity, foster a love of learning, and help children develop the academic, social, emotional, and spiritual skills they need for success. We believe these early years provide an important foundation for becoming enthusiastic, confident, lifelong learners.
Preparing Children for Kindergarten
We are intentional about preparing our students for their next educational journey. Our three-year-old, four-year-old, and Kindergarten Readiness classes incorporate the ABEKA curriculum in phonics and mathematics, providing students with age-appropriate academic instruction and foundational skills to help prepare them for a successful transition into Kindergarten.
Our preschool team also works closely with Awaken Christian Academy Elementary School, creating a strong connection between our preschool and elementary programs. This partnership
helps ensure that as children progress into the next stage of their education, they are well prepared academically, socially, and emotionally, making the transition to Kindergarten as smooth and positive as possible.
At Awaken Christian Academy Preschool, we are excited to partner with families during these precious and formative years. Our goal is to nurture hearts, build strong foundations, inspire a love of learning, and prepare each child to confidently take their next step in their educational journey—all while keeping Christ at the center.
We would love to welcome your family to ACA Preschool and share the joy of watching your child learn, grow, and flourish!

Child Development Goals and Curriculum
Early childhood is a critical time in the development of a child’s perceptions of self, others, the world, and God. The goal of the Christian preschool curriculum is to stimulate the child’s physical, mental, emotional, cognitive, and social development, providing for the special needs of each child while maintaining a strong spiritual emphasis throughout.
The primary learning of young children takes place in play and in interactive learning experiences. Children thrive when they have the opportunity to explore and experience the world around them. Play experiences enable them to organize and understand themselves and their world.
Skills and Objectives for Learning
Opportunity to experience the world around them encourages children in their intellectual development. As they interact with their environment, they gather information from which they are able to make assumptions and test them. The children’s experiences form the basis for their knowledge and enable them to find meaning and order in their world. A balance of child-initiated and teacher-directed activities helps to prepare children for future academic growth and development.
