Welcome to Wee Cherish Preschool and Childcare Center, a Christian preschool dedicated to nurturing the whole child through faith, love, and learning. Since 1989, our mission has been to create a welcoming, safe, and enriching environment where children can grow spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. We believe in fostering a love of learning that lasts a lifetime, all while supporting each child’s unique gifts and abilities.
Our History
Founded in 1989 by Iris Henderson, Wee Cherish Preschool and Childcare Center was established with a vision to offer a faith-based, holistic approach to early childhood education. What began as a small, community-centered preschool rooted in Christian values has grown into a trusted institution for families in Guernsey County. Since our humble beginnings, we have been committed to providing a balanced and comprehensive educational experience that reflects our Christian faith and encourages children to develop in every aspect of their being.
Owned and operated by Jon and Audrey Henderson since 2013, we’ve remained dedicated to our core philosophy: a whole child approach. This approach emphasizes nurturing the social, physical, spiritual, intellectual, emotional, and individual creative development of each child. We believe that when all these areas are cultivated in harmony, children grow into well-rounded individuals who are ready to take on the world with confidence, compassion, and curiosity.
At Wee Cherish Preschool and Childcare Center, we are proud to be a part of the Guernsey County community, serving families with love and care. We celebrate each child’s journey as they discover their potential, develop meaningful relationships, and deepen their faith. We invite you to join us in creating a foundation that will support your child for years to come.
