And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and with people.

About CBK
Celebration Baptist Kinderschool has been providing excellent early childhood education and childcare to families in Tallahassee for over 21 years. CBK is a Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten (VPK) provider staffed with qualified early education teachers. We are a part-time program that serves children from 18 months old through pre-kindergarten. Our goal is to help children connect to God through learning and to help their parents connect to others.
Our program runs on a calendar similar to the Leon Public Schools calendar. Our normal school week is Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 1:00pm. Extended care is available. See below for more information!
In 2019, CBK was designated a Best Christian Workplace by the Best Christian Workplaces Institute for the third time.
