Hello and Welcome!

Thank you for considering Colbert Chapel Preschool to meet your child’s earliest educational needs.  We understand that many preschool options are available to you, and we appreciate your interest.

Colbert Chapel church has been in the Northwest community since 1906.  In 1973, Pastor Walt Henderson began directing a new Colbert Chapel Preschool.  After working with the preschool for three years, a need became clear for a Christian based daycare in the area.  Together with his wife, Geri and fellow church member, Billye Anderson, Chapel Children’s Center Daycare was formed.  In the word of Billye Anderson, “This was a time when families were still adjusting to both parents working.  We knew that if children had to be out of the home we wanted them to be in a good safe place, in the love of Christian people.” 

Years later, Colbert Chapel Preschool and Chapel Children’s Center Daycare still have the same goals: to love and educate children with Christ centered curriculum and care.

The Colbert Chapel Preschool is led by a team of teachers who have decades of experience in early childhood education as well as church leadership and children’s ministry. Jen Whitehead is the Preschool Director, and has attended Colbert Chapel since high school.  She has been working for the Daycare and Preschool since 2002 and has been the director of Colbert Chapel Preschool since 2014.  Lead teacher, Tallulah has been teaching in the preschool since 2024!
