RIDGE CHRISTIAN ACADEMY

Preschool & Daycare

At Ridge Christian Academy Preschool & Daycare, we joyfully welcome children beginning at just six weeks of age through four years old. It is our privilege to care for and nurture each child as they grow—from their earliest daycare experiences through preschool and into elementary extended care. As a DSS-approved program, we maintain low teacher-to-child ratios to ensure individualized attention within a safe, loving, and Christ-centered environment. Our caring staff is committed to helping every child develop academically, socially, and spiritually, while our convenient operating hours provide dependable support for working parents and guardians.

A Loving Start to a Lifelong Journey

Every child is known by name, loved intentionally, and nurtured daily in a warm, Christ-centered environment where they feel safe, valued, and secure.

Safe. Trusted. DSS-Approved.

As a DSS-approved program with low teacher-to-child ratios, we provide attentive supervision, structured routines, and a secure environment that gives parents complete peace of mind.

A Christ-Centered, Nurturing Experience

At Ridge Christian Academy Preschool & Daycare, we provide a thoughtfully designed program that builds strong early learning foundations through hands-on activities, structured play, literacy development, and age-appropriate curriculum. Each day includes prayer, Bible stories, and character-building lessons, gently introducing children to God’s love while encouraging kindness, respect, and integrity. We partner closely with parents through open communication, consistent routines, and a supportive, caring staff, ensuring families feel informed, confident, and secure.

To support working families, we offer extended hours from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the week, providing a dependable, flexible option for parents while maintaining a stable, nurturing environment where children can grow, learn, and thrive.
