You want your child to become his or her best and truest self. She needs fun so she can be engaged in learning. He needs support in some areas and challenges in others.
Covenant Presbyterian Church has been home to an outstanding preschool for more than 50 years. Recently we have added other programs to support children and their families, finally launching a complete Covenant’s Children Center ready to meet a variety of needs.

2-5 days a week, Mon.-Fri., 9:00–11:30 am
You want to enhance your child’s love of learning, and help her make new friends. You want to give him the chance to explore our world in new ways, and practice social and academic skills. Our experienced teachers offer a rich variety of play-based learning activities together with opportunities to participate in large and small group guided learning. Our low ratio of a maximum of 12 children to 2 teachers allows for more individual teacher/student dialogue and interaction, lower stress, and a more personalized environment.

June 3 – June 21, 2019
This session is designed for children ages 36 months through 5 years old. Children must be 3 years old by June 3. Teachers prepare the environment and design activities to engage children in playful learning experiences with as much outdoor time as possible. The class explores fun and engaging themes such as camping, outer space, dinosaurs, castles, and ocean life depending upon the interests of the group and teachers. Once a week the class also participates in a cooking or food preparation activity.
The child:teacher ratio for this class is 6:1. The flexible schedule includes gathering time with theme-based activities, a short large group time (books, songs, music and discussion), outdoor time, indoor free choice time (science, math, engineering, social studies, language arts, gross motor, and arts and crafts choices), lunch time, and goodbye time.
Parents provide a packed lunch or snack for their child. Tuition for Summer Session 2019 is $250. There is no application fee or supply fee. CLICK HERE FOR AN APPLICATION.

NOTE: There are a few spaces left in the AM Kindergarten Enrichment Program, HOWEVER, there are no more spots available for transportation to Tremont or Wicklffe. (We have 13 seats on our Covenant bus, and the bus is full.) Transportation to Windermere is still available since it is provided by UA City Schools.
You want your kindergartener to have a morning full of enriched indoor and outdoor learning experiences. You want her to have fun, and be energized to do her best once she arrives at her elementary school after lunch. You want him to practice kindergarten skills in meaningful ways, and have the opportunity to more deeply explore children’s literature, dramatic play and STEAM concepts. Our program offers interest-based learning opportunities guided by experienced teachers. Transportation is available to afternoon kindergarten at Wickliffe, Windermere, and Tremont Elementary schools.

18 mos.-3 years of age
1 day a week, Mon. through Fri., 9:30am-12:30pm
You want your child to become a little more independent and to build relationships with her peers. You want him to have fun and to explore the world around him in lots of ways. We created Children’s Day Out so that it is fun and wonderful for children, and so their caregivers can have a few hours to take care of themselves or do other things they need to get done. For ten years, toddlers have been coming to Covenant to explore the world in a safe, nurturing and joyful community.
