VPK & Extended Care
VPK and Childcare
VPK stands for Voluntary Pre-Kindergarten. It is a state-funded 4-year-old preschool program that is offered at no cost to parents on the same campus as our K-8 classes. See the resources below for more information. We are now enrolling preschool students in our VPK and childcare program for the 2021-2022 school year.

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’s Early Childhood family and they are loved, cared for, and taught the truth of God’s Word everyday.
