Our Purpose

Helping Little Arrows Take Flight

At Little Arrows Preschool, our purpose is to partner with families during the important early years of a child's life. As a ministry of Steele Creek Church, we are committed to helping children build a strong foundation of faith, learning, and character while experiencing the love of Christ.

Through intentional teaching, playful discovery, and nurturing relationships, we create a joyful, Christ-centered environment where children feel loved, safe, and encouraged to grow. Our prayer is that each little arrow would be rooted in God's love and begin learning what it means to live in love and service to Christ, Home, Church, and the World.

  • We want every child who walks through our doors to know from an early age that:

    • I have a loving Heavenly Father

    • I am wonderfully created with purpose

    • I am safe and valued

    • I am capable of growing into all God created me to be

    • Jesus wants to be my friend forever

  • At Little Arrows Preschool, our mission is to partner with parents of preschool-age children to raise little arrows to be rooted in love, growing in faith and launched toward a lifetime of discipleship. We believe parents and the church together form the bow — lovingly supporting, guiding, encouraging, and launching these young hearts toward the plans and purposes God has prepared, in advance, for them. Through intentional teaching, meaningful relationships, joyful discovery, and Christ-centered encouragement, we desire to help children grow into compassionate friends, confident learners, thoughtful leaders, who are living in love and service to Christ, the home, the church, and the world.

  • Our vision is to see Little Arrows take flight in faith, wonder, and purpose as they learn to live on target for Christ.

Little Arrows Preschool is an extension of the mission of Steele Creek Church. Our vision is to be and make disciples who love and serve Christ, the home, the church, and the world. That calling begins here, in these early years, as we partner with families to plant seeds of faith, love, and purpose in the hearts of young children.

How Our Vision Comes to Life in Preschool

At Little Arrows Preschool, we believe discipleship begins in the everyday moments of childhood.  For a preschooler, living in love and service to Christ, the home, the church, and the world may look like…
