Our Core Values

Our curriculum celebrates God’s love and each child’s unique design. We nurture the whole child—spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially, and intellectually—through creative, hands-on learning. Faith grows through Bible stories, prayer, songs, and weekly Chapel.

Since 1942: Our History

Warwick River Christian began in 1942 with 21 students in a church basement. Over the decades, God has guided our growth—from new buildings to expanded programs that now serve preschool through second grade in one nurturing campus.

Our childcare program, founded in 1989 and renamed Warwick River Christian in 2024, continues our mission of faith-filled, age-appropriate learning. Open year-round from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., we offer before- and after-care and engaging summer day camps—helping children grow, learn, and thrive in God’s love.
