Welcome
Holy Comforter Episcopal Preschool and Kindergarten (HCEP & K) provides a lively, creative, loving and safe environment that gives each child the opportunity to develop a sense of self-worth, self-understanding and self-expression. Our integrated curriculum encourages the social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual development of children. Teachers provide a balance of activities and develop individual goals for the children so that each child receives the attention, challenges and successes he/she needs. Play is the heart of our preschool curriculum.
