About Us

Redwood Church Preschool was first established by Virda & Bill Stevens as a ministry of Redwood Church.

In May of 2016 we were licensed for full time care with the Department of Social Services.

Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 5 pm. Redwood Church Preschool is a year-round program, please see our family calendar for closures and holidays observed.
