MISSION STATEMENT
MCDC provides a safe and healthy Christian environment that promotes the physical, social, cognitive and spiritual development of young children.
PRE-SCHOOL
MCDC offers classes for children 12 to 36 months old. Children in the 3-year-old class must be potty-trained. Age for each class is calculated by the child’s age as of September 1.
PRE-KINDERGARTEN (4 Year Olds)
To enter Pre-Kindergarten, a child must be 4 years old by September 1 of that school year.
KINDERGARTEN
To enter Kindergarten, a child must be 5 years old by September 1 of that school year.
DAY CARE
Students in the above classes may stay from 7:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., or part of that time, in a supervised daycare program. Should there be other openings in the afternoon session, parents have the opportunity to reserve spaces for the children by contacting the staff one day in advance.
CURRICULUM
The 12-month to 2 year-old classes use thematic units for instruction. Beginning with the 2 year-olds, teachers use the Abeka curriculum. Abeka is a Christian- and phonic-based curriculum that gives children a solid foundation for beginning reading and writing. Children also engage in other educational activities, such as practicing with numbers.
