GOSPEL TRAIN PRE-SCHOOL

The Gospel Train Preschool was established in August 1984 as a weekday ministry of the Tarpon Methodist Church to provide educational needs of the early childhood years with a Christian orientation. The Gospel Train is licensed by Pinellas County, Gold Seal Accredited and a certified VPK provider. In addition, lead teachers and assistant teachers are required to obtain certification in Early Childhood Education from the Pinellas County License Board. The director and all teachers must also continue their early childhood education annually. All staff has had their background screening which is also required by the county.
