Open Door Christian Preschool Mission Statement:

Our mission is to serve families of preschoolers by partnering with them in the preparation of their child(ren) for their future school experiences. This is accomplished by offering a safe, nurturing, Christ-centered environment that provides play-based experiences that enhance the development of the whole child. This is accomplished by addressing the following areas – Social, Physical, Intellectual, Creative, Emotional and Spiritual.

Open Door Christian Schools’ (ODCS) preschool programs provide hands-on, developmentally appropriate, play-based environments. Children are introduced to letters, shapes, colors, and numbers through the use of learning centers. A time of prayer and biblical instruction is included in each day’s schedule as well as time for music class and creative movement. Class ratios are fewer than 12 students to one teacher.

We offer a variety of half-day or full-day programs for children from three to five years old, as well as an Extended Care program. The half-day session (8-11am) includes the core preschool program. The full-day session (8am-3pm) includes the core preschool program, a rest time, and additional Learning Center time. All of our morning and full-day classes offer an early drop-off time as early as 7:30am at no additional charge. Our programs coincide with the K-12 ODCS school day schedule and school calendar. Students need to be three years old by August 1 and fully potty trained to attend ODCS. Please decide which program best suits your needs and fill out the application accordingly.

Class options:

• Tuesday and Thursday half or full day. (Not available for PreK students)
• Monday, Wednesday and Friday half or full day (3-5 year olds)
• Monday through Friday half or full day (3–5 year olds)

Extended Care Program: This program is designed for use on an occasional or regular basis and is available Monday through Friday as an extension of any full day session or the afternoon half-day session. The Extended Care program is available until 5:30pm. Families are charged for this service separate from their preschool tuition. Fees for this service are $4.25/hour/child ($3.25/hr for each additional child), which is figured in 15 min. increments. Families will be billed monthly for Extended Care.
