Welcome!
Welcome to Precious Children in the Highlands Preschool (PCH Preschool)! We are honored that you are considering us to care for your child. Our mission is to provide a nurturing, high-quality environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.
Founded by Julie Laursen in November 2007, PCH Preschool has been serving families in our community for nearly two decades. In partnership with Presbyterian Church in the Highlands, we provide a faith-based environment where children are encouraged to grow academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually while building a strong foundation for future success.
We proudly serve children from 6 weeks through 12 years of age through our preschool, VPK, after-school, holiday camp, and summer camp programs. Our dedicated staff create meaningful learning experiences through developmentally appropriate practices, hands-on activities, and caring relationships that help each child reach their full potential.
Our After School Camp serves students in Kindergarten through 5th Grade and offers devotions, homework help, crafts, and activity centers in a small-group setting. We currently provide pick-up from Valleyview Elementary and Scott Lake Elementary, with care available until 6:00 PM.
At PCH Preschool, we are committed to fostering strong partnerships with families, investing in professional development, and creating opportunities for children to build the skills, confidence, and character they need for the future.
Thank you for considering PCH Preschool. We look forward to partnering with your family as we help children grow—rooted in faith, ready for the future.
