The Kirk of Kildaire, Presbyterian has been blessed with a significant number of young families with preschool-age children. We believe that a vital ministry of the church in the community is to provide a quality Christian preschool-age program, for the benefit of both children and parents.
We believe in developing the whole child in a loving, cheerful environment with a happy child, a healthy self-esteem, and a lifelong love of learning our goals. To accomplish this, a creative curriculum will provide age and developmentally appropriate child-oriented activities. The Children’s Center staff will provide a Christian environment that will nurture each child spiritually, mentally, emotionally, socially, and physically.
The preschool’s direct phone number is 919-469-4895.
Our classes run from 9:15-12:15
- 2-day two’s: Tues/Thurs – $195/month
- 3-day three’s: MWF – $235/month
- 3-day four’s: Tues/Wed/Thurs – $250/month
- 5-day four’s M-F – $300/month
Our center operates on a tuition-based budget. You must be current in payments of your child’s tuition. Payments in arrears will be cause for dismissal. A late fee charge of $15 may be assessed if your payment is not received on time. One month’s written notice must be given before withdrawing your child; otherwise, you will be responsible for one month tuition.
Please know that I understand that there may be extenuating circumstances and I am available to discuss these and work with you!
If the preschool if forced to close for any extended time due to a mandate or for any reason, the Children’s Center Board will assess the implications for tuition.
