Christ-centered

Rooted in faith, all week long.

“Train up a child in the way he should go.”

Proverbs 22:6

Train Station is operated by Brightmoor Christian Church, and everything here is taught from a biblical worldview. Prayer, short Bible lessons and songs are part of every week, and the way teachers guide behavior is shaped by God’s Word: self-control, cooperation and respect.

Operated by Brightmoor Christian Church

Brightmoor has operated Train Station since 2000, and the school shares its campus at 13 Mile Road in Novi. The preschool is licensed by the State of Michigan.

In their words.

Reviews shared publicly by Train Station families on Facebook.

“An incredible preschool on every level! The perfect balance of academics and play. My daughter who is quite shy initially has felt comfortable there from day one. The staff is truly wonderful and the director has been incredibly helpful and available. I love the spiritual component, as well. My daughter has learned a great deal in many areas. I highly recommend the Train Station Preschool.”

Ready for Kindergarten, wherever it is.

Everything at Train Station points toward a confident first day of Kindergarten: the emotional, social and cognitive skills that make a child a lifelong learner. Families who wish to continue in Christian education can go on to Novi Christian Academy, the K-12 school Brightmoor operates on the same campus.
