Early Childhood Program
Preschool at NCA
Our preschool class at NCA is a mixed-age group of 3-4 year olds. We know that all children are unique so we use a developmentally appropriate curriculum that allows each child to participate in activities at their own level. The 4 year olds in this class are also eligible for VPK (Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten). Please click on the links below to answer frequently asked questions about our preschool, VPK, and extended care options.

Northdale Christian Academy’s Early Childhood Program is dedicated to providing excellence in education for all its students. Our licensed teachers are committed to achieving this excellence by maintaining developmentally appropriate practices; a safe, nurturing environment; and proactive home-school communication. We focus on all areas of education for a young child: spiritual, social/emotional, cognitive, and physical. We want each child to know that they are a valued member of our academy family and they are loved, cared for, and taught the truth of God’s Word everyday.
