Then little children were being brought to him in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples spoke sternly to those who brought them; but Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them, for it is such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs." And he laid his hands on them and went on his way.
- Mathew 19:13-15

Perea, part of the Church Health Center family, is a faith-based, privately funded preschool for three-and-four-year olds serving the North Memphis area. The name "Perea" was carefully chosen by Perea teachers and staff before the school opened. Perea was a biblical city that was considered a place of refuge for children. Here at Perea, we strive to make our children feel safe, loved and valued each day.
