A Christian choice for preschool:
Serving families in the Indiana area for more than 30 years.

Christian Play Day is a biblically based, nondenominational cooperative preschool program.  With our staff of dedicated teachers, we serve families who are seeking a Christian educational experience along with academics and structured play.  Bible stories, prayer, and forgiveness are as much a part of the daily routine as colors, numbers and letters.

 

Christian Play Day meets on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  The program year begins in September and ends in May.

 What is so special about

 Christian Play Day???

 

          Using Jesus as a model for peer interactions and personal growth, the curriculum incorporates Bible stories and characters in the teaching of both academic and spiritual lessons.

          The program is unique in that it adds an affordable Christian alternative to the preschool options in the Indiana area.  The cooperative nature of the program fosters parental involvement, a family atmosphere, and the opportunity for those involved to form lasting friendships.

Current News

 

Our first semester is rapidly coming to an end. The weeks have really flown by. The four-year-old children recently went on their Fall Walk to Memorial Park. The weather was beautiful and the leaf mulcher did not arrive until after we had had our fun with the leaves! Thanks to all of the parents who accompanied us on the walk...you were a terrific help. 

 

We will be taking a week off for the Thanksgiving holiday. There will be no classes on Nov. 25th or 27th. Our Christmas Program will be presented on Thursday, December 11th, at 10:00 A.M. Children should arrive at their regular time. All children are to participate in the program, even if they only attend classes on Tuesdays. The program is followed by a "punch and snacks" reception.

 

Our second semester will begin on January 13th, 2009. If you like to plan ahead, there are some other important dates to remember. Our spring break will take place the weeks before and after Easter. There will be no classes on April 7th, 9th, 14th, or 16th. Our spring Graduation Program will be held on Thursday, May 14th.

 

Enrollment for 2009 Sonshine Lambs 

 

Students are currently being accepted for the 2009 Sonshine Lambs class. This Thursday morning class is for children who will be three years old by Jan. 14th, 2009. Tuition is $20.00 for the semester, and classes will begin on January 15th. Our Sonshine Lambs curriculum is entirely different from the full-year three-year-old classes, so if you child returns next year, he or she will not be repeating the same lessons. If you would like to enroll your child, or you would like additional information, please contact Jeanne Mihelcic at (724) 463-8535 (ext. 20), or (724) 465-7626. You may also contact me by email at jmihelcic@indianagrace.org.
