K.I.C.K. (Kids in Christ’s Kingdom) Summer Preschool

K.I.C.K. is an extension of Messiah Preschool’s School Year.
The difference? In the summer we have themes that you won’t see during the school year and will explore more in a blended age class. K.I.C.K. was developed with the understanding that parents work and sometimes they work all summer long. We want to provide students with a Christ-Centered place to grow and learn while having FUN! We are currently enrolling for the Summer of 2027. We welcome you to come in and see for yourself why Messiah Preschool has been voted #1 by Mounds View & Shoreview SunTimes Readers.
