Welcome to Long Hill Christian Preschool!

We are located at 525 Shunpike Road, Chatham, NJ 07928.  Our school was founded in 1973 and we're so blessed to be approaching 40 years of ministering and serving children and their families in the community!

Our goal at LHCP is to provide readiness skills - social, physical, emotional, spiritual, and academic - in a warm, caring, nuturing, and loving school environment.

We offer classes for:

• 2 1/2 - year olds
  • 2 mornings per week.  Children must be 2 by March 31st to start school in September.
• 3 year olds
  • 2 or 3 mornings per week.  Children must be 3 by October 1st and toilet trained to start school in September. 
• 4 year olds
  • 4 mornings or extended day 4's (which dismisses at 1:30pm on Wednesdays.)  Children must be 4 by October 1st to start school in September.
• Kindergarten Enrichment
  • 2 afternoons per week for children attending half-day Kindergarten programs.
• Lunch Bunch and Soccer provide extended hours as well.

See Programs page for schedule and hours of operation.

At LHCP, our class sizes are small, with an excellent teacher-to-child ratio.  We believe children learn best through play.  Our students create, laugh, read stories, and sing songs.  Our classes focus on themes ranging from community helpers, animals, insects, transportation, multi-culture, seasons, Bible stories, and Holidays.  Interwoven throughout our curriculum are the principles that "God loves me" and "I am special."

Some of the activities our program includes are: Show-&-Tell days, parent share days, silly hat day, teddy bear day, circus fun, international day, and field trips.  We enjoy visits from the Chatham Fire Department, Chatham Police Department, Dentist, and a Traveling Farm.  In the Fall, we have a Harvest Party, and in the Winter, a Christmas Concert.  In the Spring, we have an "Art Show," displaying a sampling of the children's work.  At the end of the year, we have Picnics/Water Fun Days.  We are very blessed to have a large indoor gym for those cold, snowy, and rainy days.  Our goal is to provide an intimate, friendly atmosphere in which children bloom to their full potential.
