Welcome to Northside Christian Preschool

At Northside Christian School, our program is designed to nurture the whole child by intentional learning through play. In our classrooms, students grow through a creative, hands-on approach that supports social, emotional, spiritual, and academic development.

Our academics are aligned with research-based Child Development Milestones while laying a Biblical foundation reflecting Northside’s core values of truth, excellence, service, and discipleship. As students grow throughout the year, they gain confidence, independence, and a love for learning as they prepare for Kindergarten and beyond.

Our preschool incorporates engaging learning environments:

Throughout the week, Enrichment opportunities are available for our preschoolers:
  • Explore Lab: hands-on time exploring God’s world through the 7 days of creation
  • Music: singing, chanting, and rhythm leads to developing fine and gross skills 
  • Spanish: learning a new language boosts understanding of literacy skills
  • Open Library: discover new interests and concepts through books
  • Elementary Chapel: attend and participate in the worship portion on Friday mornings
  • Mini Mustang Chapel: reinforce the weekly Bible verse, explore character development from a Biblical worldview, and worship God together. 
  • Story Time Soccer: educational, fitness program (additional fee)
Pre-K3 and Pre-K4 programs run five days a week, with the school day beginning at 8:15 a.m. and ending at 3:00 p.m.

Preschool doors open at 7:30 a.m. for early stay at no additional cost. For families needing care after school hours, NCS Aftercare is available for an additional fee from 2:45 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
