The Weekday School is a part-day preschool program that has operated since 1990 as a Christian Education Ministry of First Presbyterian Church. The school operates from 9:10 – 1:00 each day and currently serves 255 children, ages 18 months to five-year-olds, in seventeen classes throughout the week.
The Weekday School students have the benefit of:
- remarkably dedicated teachers who provide a classroom environment that is loving and nurturing and who offer a sound educational program for young children
- unequaled enrichment activities and field trips in uptown Charlotte
- a convenient location to many surrounding neighborhoods and for parents who work uptown
- a developmentally appropriate curriculum that encourages play and exploration, allows children to be creative and inquisitive as they develop intellectual skills, and teaches social skills and self-help skills.
The purpose of First Presbyterian Church Weekday School is to nurture the growth of children and their families by providing a Christian environment with planned experiences for children’s spiritual, intellectual, and social enrichment that help them learn and develop as children of God.
The school serves children of First Presbyterian Church members and the greater Charlotte community without regard to race, national origin, religious affiliation, or financial need. Information about scholarship assistance is available through the director of the school. The school is also inclusive, serving children with disabilities and special needs if a child’s needs can be met within the framework of the school and classroom setting.
