Parent's Day Out

And Preschool

Parent's Day Out and Preschool Program

At Calvary

Our school year typically begins the end of August and runs concurrent with Fayette County Schools schedule for the year. In early spring we will open registration to the public for the following school year. Please explore this page for more information about Calvary's PDO and Preschool programs.



If you have questions, are interested in enrolling, or need more information, please contact Andrea Caudill, Director at (859) 231-8458 or email.


Enrollment

Children age three months through three years old may be enrolled for Parent’s Day Out. Children four and five years old are enrolled in the Preschool Program. Children will be placed in rooms according to the child’s birth date. We are always enrolling students in classrooms where space is available. If we do not currently have space available for your child you can ask to be placed on our waiting list and we will contact you if a space opens up. It is advised that parents call early if they would like to enroll for upcoming sessions in order to get on the waiting list as soon as possible.


We take pride in our ability to maintain very low teacher/student ratios in our classrooms: Babies 2:5, Crawlers/Walkers 2:6, Ones 2:8, Twos 2:10, Threes 2:12 and Preschool 2:14.

WEE Curriculum

This curriculum is published by LifeWay Christian Resources. We have curriculum designed for all the ages we teach. It is activity based, provides choices, allows for physical activity, and is biblically based. Throughout the school year we will have many different themes students will be learning about. Classrooms will base activities on the age and developmental levels of the children. Classrooms will post the monthly calendar outside the door so you can see what your child will be involved in during the month.

Children's Library

The church has a library located in the preschool area. Parent’s Day Out children are welcome to borrow books from the library. You may come in anytime, but we ask that you follow the church guidelines for checkout and return. 

Preschool

Enrollment

Thank you for your interest in our Preschool Classes at Calvary Baptist Church. Children age four and five are enrolled in our Preschool Classes. These classes focus on skills to help prepare children for Kindergarten. Enrollment is determined based on space available. Our class size for preschool is limited to 14 children at most with 2 teachers per class. If classes are full we always accept names for our waiting list.


We do NOT have a toilet training policy. We support each child's developmental timeline and we will not set a deadline for diapers/pull-ups to be gone. We place children in classrooms based on age.
