In response to a community need, Margaret Wannamaker Kennon founded St. Stephen's Episcopal Preschool in 1962 and served as its director for nine years. Mrs. Kennon's philosophy of loving and caring for each child as an individual, her belief in the development of the whole child, her understanding of young children and her ability to make each one feel important, created the environment found today at St. Stephen's Episcopal Preschool.

Our teachers (Click Here) are dedicated to enriching each child's preschool years through activities appropriate to his or her stage of development. Nurturing the confidence and self-esteem of each child in a loving, Christian environment is of prime importance, as is helping the children learn to share and cooperate with others in a group setting and to respect those in authority.

We heartily welcome children of all races and faiths and certainly recognize and respect differences in religious preferences. Indeed, it is by respecting each child as a unique, contributing, loving human being that we establish the positive sense of value and self-worth that can sustain him or her for years to come. It is our privilege at st. Stephen's Preschool to work with the parents of our children in laying that crucial foundation.

Enrollment is for current students, their siblings and registered church members, respectively. any remaining openings are filled from a waiting list administered by the preschool office. Without exception, August 31 is honored as the birthday cut-off date for class assignment. Questions concerning enrollment procedures should be directed to the preschool office.
