Preschool
Central Weekday Preschool in Wendell, NC opened in 2010. The primary goal has always been to teach children about the amazing love of God. This is accomplished best when children and families feel that love through the warm, caring staff who have each committed their lives to Christ Jesus. Providing foundational learning skills to help each child grow is a vital part of preschool at Central Baptist Weekday Preschool.
