Our Mission
Little Badger Christian Preschool's mission is to minister to our community's children and families by presenting a developmentally appropriate Christian education and laying a foundation for a relationship with Jesus Christ in a loving, safe, and nurturing environment.
About us
The Little Badger Christian Preschool program of Oak Creek, WI, was developed at its current site at Faith Baptist Church in 2020. We opened in August of 2021. The preschool is organized for children ages 2-5 years of age. It is designed to promote children's mental, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual development. The program aims to enrich each child's life so that he/she may experience the best and happiest of preschool years.
