Welcome to Northside Christian Preschool

At Northside Christian School, we aim to balance the importance of play and academics in our preschool curriculum. We believe that young children thrive in a safe, nurturing environment where open-ended, creative, imaginative, and challenging play is valued for its crucial role in healthy development.

By incorporating elements of the Abeka preschool curriculum, we also focus on providing students with the academic tools they need to prepare for kindergarten. Our curriculum includes activities designed to develop foundational academic skills, a love for learning, intrinsic motivation, good citizenship, and a strong relationship with God, fostering healthy, well-rounded students.

Our preschool incorporates engaging learning environments:

  • Imagine - Our building block/math room
  • The Word - Our language arts room
  • The ABC Cafe - Our Christian character and cooking room
  • My Father’s World - Our hands on science room
  • The Gardens - Our inside and outside nature curriculum centers
  • Designated Music time
  • Designated Spanish time
  • Weekly preschool Chapel time
At Northside Christian Preschool, children rotate in small groups through specially designed learning areas throughout the day, while teachers remain in their designated instructional spaces. We offer five learning groups, each limited to 12 children to ensure a nurturing and focused experience. 

Each week is centered around a specific theme, with thoughtfully prepared environments that support growth in academics, social skills, physical development, and spiritual formation. Once a week, all students come together for a joyful time of worship.

Our preschool welcomes children beginning at age 3 who are self-regulated. Northside Christian Preschool is a place where students are happy, curious, confident, and kind. To learn more or schedule a personal tour, please contact our Admissions Office at 727-541-7593 (Option 1). We’d love to show you what makes our preschool so special!
