Our Vision:

Carmel Presbyterian Weekday School envisions a ministry where:

  • Children THRIVE both spiritually and developmentally.

  • Children DEVELOP both physically and emotionally.

  • Children GROW in faith and discipleship.

Philosophy:

Each child's uniqueness is nurtured by our Christian staff in a warm, child-centered environment for toddlers and preschoolers. We support their development with stimulating spaces that foster growth through art, play, music, drama, nature, and storytelling, while teaching basic concepts like colors and numbers. Hands-on activities and creative play are central to learning. Our program provides a safe space for exploration, believing each child is a creation of God, deserving love and support. We aim to develop confident, well-rounded preschoolers ready to learn. We encourage school-home cooperation and welcome questions, suggestions, and visits.
