Neffsville Christian Preschool has some very unique and special opportunities for the children who come here. We have many rooms that all the children visit everyday that they attend. Each room has a different developmental focus, therefore it has varied manipulatives, activities, toys, centers and areas to investigate. The best way to see our school is to come for a visit. That way you and your child can get to know our loving teachers, clean and cheerful rooms, safe environment and “flow” of the morning. But in the meantime, sit back and come with us on a tour…
Below, you will find our promotional video (please take note that the video was shot over the COVID pandemic and we are wearing face masks/ shields.) Further below the video, you will find a picture tour with more description of each of our rooms.
THE ENTRANCE AND NCP PARENT SCOOP BOARD
We like to highlight the many NCP activities going on throughout the year on our front door bulletin board. Our staff is also pictured to help you recognize the women who work here. At the top of the first steps is our NCP Parent Scoop board to help keep you informed of what’s happening each week and in the community. We also have a parent library filled with books pertaining to successfully raising children in the 21st century!

Every week we display students in the spotlight posters. Each student and their families have the opportunity (but is not required) to make a poster to hang up
There is a rolling library cart on the first floor with books that are relevant to preschool age children. These are available for you to check out anytime you wish!
THE ARTS AND CRAFTS AREA
Each room has a place to be creative and explore art mediums, build with play dough, use small motor skills with wooden blocks, small manipulatives and draw at the easels.

THE 5 YEAR OLD PRE-K CLASSROOM
All the same areas, just in a more Kindergarten-like atmosphere and space. Room for early literacy stations, as well.
THE SNACK ROOM
A clean and inviting room to eat a healthy snack that we provide each day. All food allergies are carefully monitored. We serve a variety of foods for students to try; including various crackers, chips, cheese, meats, fruits, and vegetables. Students are allowed to bring in a birthday or half birthday treat to celebrate with their friends.
** During COVID-19, however, children are eating and drinking snacks/water brought from home in their classrooms while socially distanced.**
THE SOCIAL HALL
A large indoor space to move those large motor muscles. Also an area for our gym class once a month. On any given day, children on bikes, trikes, scooters and riding toys go whizzing by. We have monthly puppet shows down here as well as a sensory table, discovery zone, a quiet corner, and indoor playground apparatus. When the weather cooperates, we play outside at our playground.
