Favorite HCP Memory I love every year when we put together a Thanksgiving feast of cookies and juice as it’s a fun time when the whole school comes together.

Sherie Anderson joined HCP in a teaching role in 2016. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Athletic Training from Northeastern University and continued studies in Child Development from Becker College. After spending many years at home with her two children, Sherie decided to get back into a teaching role. Luckily, HCP was the perfect place for her to share God’s love and word with her favorite aged people, preschoolers!  Sherie and her husband, Stephen, live in Hopkinton with their two boys John and Lucas – both are graduates of HCP.

Hear From Our Team

At Hopkinton Christian Preschool, we cherish and value the impact of meaningful relationships. We love getting to know each of our kids and their families!

It has been great to be able to combine the skills I developed through the years, with my love of Christ. HCP gave my daughter such a solid foundation of confidence and skills. I am so glad to be part of it, even after my little one has moved on. I love to encourage our children in the hope of building confidence, a love of God, and compassion toward others.

It is my hope and desire that all people would feel the love of God in their lives. Being a part of Hopkinton Christian Preschool has provided me with the opportunity to share God's love in a real way with young children and an environment where I too have experienced the wonder of God's love in so many ways!

HCP was a great decision for both my boys during their preschool years. My husband and I were looking for a Christian based preschool that wasn't a ``daycare``. As a stay at home mom, I only wanted a few hours for my children to start the separation process for school. My experience far surpassed my expectations. Our boys not only got a Christian foundation, they also received top notch academic and social preparation from the teaching staff. The extensive experience of the staff gave me confidence that our boys were loved and protected as I dropped them each day. It is now a privilege to build that same confidence in each of the families I am able to serve through my teaching role at HCP.
