About Geneva Small Fry Preschool |
|
We are a non-denominational Christian Nursery —preschool established in 1969 in Modesto, California. The purpose of Geneva Small Fry Nursery is to provide the preschool child with the opportunity to learn social relationships, to improve skill with manual dexterity, to develop language skills, and to provide a transition between home and school in a Christian atmosphere. Our teachers have the freedom to instruct the children using the Bible as God’s guide to teach the love of God and love of neighbor. Children are taught to pray before their meals. |
