Our Mission

As part of the total program of Davidson College Presbyterian Church, the weekday school is responsible to and administered by the Christian Education committee through the Preschool committee. The school's purpose is to meet the emotional, social, physical, intellectual, and spiritual needs of the early childhood years.

Each child will be helped to grow as a whole person and to develop his or her own unique talents and abilities in a child-centered environment. Our weekday school emphasizes enrichment, rather than academic programs. Learning will take place within the context of the Christian community, guided by loving adults who are willing to share their own faith in ways that are meaningful to young children.

Our Curriculum

Our curriculum is based on how children learn, rather than on what they should know. The preschool classes at DCPC strive to be developmentally appropriate for eighteen months to five years. 

Children in each age group have planned activities appropriate for their age, and are guided by teachers with various levels of experience and in-service training.
