Old Donation Episcopal Church offers preschool and kindergarten classes as a service to the Church and the community.
Through the Day School Program, we help our children grow into their full stature as created by God.
We exist to provide an environment in which children can develop wholesome self-images and grow physically, intellectually, socially, and spiritually.
We believe that as children explore, question, listen, build, paint, play, and sing they develop a love of learning and readiness for school and other life experiences.
Furthermore, the quality of these early experiences will have a profound life-long influence on each child's potential.
