Lighting the Path for Lifelong Learners
At Noah’s Ark Academy, we believe a child’s early years are a precious time to nurture not only the mind, but also the heart and spirit. Rooted in a Christ-centered foundation, our preschool offers a unique blend of academic learning, spiritual growth, and hands-on experiences with nature—all designed to develop well-rounded, confident, and compassionate children.
Our program is thoughtfully designed for children ages 3 years (potty trained) through Kindergarten, providing a strong start for every learner during their most formative years.
We go beyond traditional preschool. Through the Abeka curriculum, daily engagement with farm animals, and enriching activities in gardening and homesteading, children gain knowledge, responsibility, and a deeper appreciation for God’s creation—all while growing in faith and independence.
We are more than a preschool—we are a place where children are known, loved, and guided to discover their God-given potential.

Our Story
Noah’s Ark Academy was founded and prayed over by Katie, whose deep commitment to community service and education drives our mission. With a background as a certified teacher and principal, Katie saw a need for a preschool that not only prepared children for kindergarten but also nurtured their faith and life skills. “We were fortunate to find a great preschool for my son, but options were limited and many had long waiting lists.”
Katie built Noah’s Ark Academy from the ground up, choosing every detail and program with care. Inspired by her son’s growth in a Christian preschool using the Abeka program, Katie wanted to offer that same opportunity to more families.
“Watching my son flourish in his faith and learning with Abeka inspired me to create a place where all children can thrive academically and spiritually.”
