The History of P.A.L.S.
PALS was formed in 2017 by Sharon Wenger as a response to the closing of Sonrise Academy Preschool in Lebanon. When a dog-puppet named Scruffy was introduced to the classroom, he added a bit of magic and mystery to our learning. He has now become our program's mascot and namesake: P.A.L.S. stands for Play And Learn with Scruffy!
To date, over 100 students have enrolled at PALS since our very first class. In 2025, the Lord led this program to partner with Christ Community Church in Myerstown. It's been a joy to see God grow this ministry so we can teach even more children!

Location
My PALS Preschool is located in Christ Community Church, nestled in the heart of Myerstown. This location provides PALS' families with close proximity to Elco schools. Here, we enjoy a secure building that is locked to outsiders... not to mention ample classroom space that is not shared with any other program!
