About Us
All God’s Children Preschool, located in Lakewood Ranch, has been educating children for over 25 years. As a faith-based preschool, we focus on teaching children Christian values, making good choices, and being kind to others. Our play-based curriculum is designed to ensure that students are well-prepared for Kindergarten by nurturing curiosity, creativity, and hands-on learning. AGC Preschool offers smaller class sizes to ensure that our teachers can better understand each child’s needs, strengths, and learning styles.
Each day is filled with opportunities to explore, discover, and grow through meaningful play. We believe that every child deserves the chance to grow academically, socially, and emotionally within a warm, welcoming environment that feels like family.

What People Are Saying
When we moved to Lakewood Ranch, we knew very few people outside of family. AGC has given us, as parents, countless ways to get involved and connect. Our sons are thriving and have made wonderful friends, and I’ve met so many kind, welcoming parent friends through the school. We absolutely adore AGC and the community it has brought into our lives. I cannot say enough positive things about this school—it has truly become a special part of our family’s story.
What stands out the most is how every administrator and teacher knows each child personally. They don’t just know their names—they know their personalities, their strengths, and what makes them smile. That level of connection is rare, and it brings such comfort as a parent to know our boys are seen, supported, and cherished every single day.
When I think of AGC, one word comes to mind and that’s “family”. Though they may call themselves a preschool, All God’s Children is so much more than that. Our children absolutely flourished during their time at AGC, they grew socially, academically, emotionally and mentally! All God’s Children is the only preschool we entrust to take care of our children, and their well being.
We toured many preschools in the area, but as soon as we walked into AGC we knew that it was the place we had been looking for. It had a sweet, homey feel and it was immediately clear that the teachers and staff truly cared about each child that walked through the doors. AGC will always hold such a special place in our hearts. We are eternally grateful to have found such a special place for our kids to begin their school journey.
As a former teacher and parent, being a part of the All God’s Children family was the BEST experience for our daughter, myself, and my family. As a teacher I had the love, support, and resources to make sure my students began their educational journey with the best academics, inclusive social environment, and learning God’s love as Jesus taught us. AGC sets a high bar for the growth and development of your child. I recommend, with all my heart, any parent considering a preschool to enroll their child today. As I wouldsay to my “littles” that every day is a great day at AGC!
