Admissions
NorthCreek Preschool offers extraordinary opportunities for educational, social and physical growth. Opportunities are provided for being with other children in a setting conducive to the development of wholesome relationships and a respect for others. Learning activities are designed to develop kindergarten readiness while remembering that children learn best through active involvement in age-appropriate experiences.
With a commitment to return to the quality program we know and love, we are launching a phased re–opening. In the 2022-2023 school year, we plan to intentionally focus on the return of our M/W/F Pre-Kindergarten program (with optional Pre-K Lunch Bunch, too!) and our once-a-week Mom’s Morning Out program. We anticipate then confidently building on our success by welcoming the return of the 3s program in the 2023-2024 school year. Students previously eligible for NCP’s junior kindergarten (JK) program (5 years old by January 31, 2023) will continue to be welcomed to apply to NorthCreek Academy’s transitional kindergarten (TK) program.
Enrollment is open to all preschool children of the community. Each child must be toilet trained. Admission is made without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin. Each child admitted must be determined to be ready for the type of group experience that the school offers. Children with special needs are considered individually.
Academy
NorthCreek Academy offers extraordinary opportunities for achievement in academics, the fine arts, athletics, as well as personal and spiritual growth. Students are encouraged to pursue personal interests and develop their own unique leadership abilities through many extra-curricular programs and chapels. The uniqueness of the individual is respected as we partner with each family to develop well-rounded students and encourage each child to develop their God-given gifts and talents to their fullest.
