Contact us by phone at (810) 664-2846 or email naps@cbcl.org. Registration forms, emergency notification cards, and immunization records must be completed prior to your child's attendance. There is a $50 non-refundable registration fee due at enrollment.

Does my child need to be potty-trained?
Yes. Each child must be potty-trained and able to take care of themselves in the bathroom, including managing belts, zippers, and buttons without teacher assistance. Please send a labeled bag with a change of clothes (underwear, socks, shirt, shorts or pants) in case of an accident.
What does the curriculum include?
Our kindergarten-readiness program features academics, arts and crafts, physical activity, and music. We focus on the development of the whole child — physical skills, social and communication skills, emotional development, intellectual growth, and spiritual development using a Bible-based curriculum.
Is Noah's Ark a religious preschool?
Noah's Ark Preschool is a ministry of Calvary Bible Church. We provide a foundation in Christian living through Bible-centered instruction. Our primary focus is on kindergarten readiness, with faith woven naturally into our nurturing environment.
What should my child wear/bring to school?
Send your child in practical clothing — we'll be crawling on the floor, painting, playing in the sandbox, and going to the gym. No slippery shoes. Please label all boots, coats, etc. with your child's name. Bring a labeled bag with a change of clothes for storage at school.
Do you offer tours or visits?
Yes! We hope you will find time to visit our school. If you would like to visit or help in the classroom, please notify the teacher ahead of time. We'd love to show you around.
How long has Noah's Ark Preschool been in operation?
We've been serving Lapeer County families since 1971 — 54 years of early childhood education. We're proud of the generations of families who have chosen Noah's Ark for their children.
What about snow days?
We close when Lapeer Community Schools close for weather-related problems. Closings are announced on WMPC 1230 AM, Channel 12 Weather, group texts, and lapeerschools.org.
Are there field trips?
We take up to three field trips per year as part of our educational program. Every child must have a guardian for transportation and supervision on each field trip.
