Our Early Childhood programs are dedicated to building up children in the way of the Lord. Our full-time teachers and aides embrace the excitement, curiosity, and energy of each child as they explore new corners of creation in Preschool and Developmental Kindergarten.

Christian preschool for our youngest learners
At NorthPointe Christian Schools, early childhood /preschool programs begin at just 3-years old! Between our Spanish Immersion Program, English Program, Nature-Based Preschool, and Developmental Kindergarten, we have a program for every little learner. Parents can choose part-time days, full-time days, or a combination of both. Our Early Childhood program well prepares students for our Kindergarten – 5th grade Elementary Program.

Principal's CornerKaren Vanderberg
“NPC is my home away from home. Each day I get to be a part of a team who lives out our calling of equipping students to impact the world for Jesus Christ. We do this by cultivating a welcoming environment and a culture where God is glorified through how we treat each other and how we move forward in excellence of academics and biblical principles. There is nothing more fulfilling.”

Pick-up, Drop-off, and Shuttle Procedures?
Families utilize the back loop for pick-up and drop-off. The right lane is used only for drop-off and pick-up. An NPC greeter welcomes and assist families. Parents who prefer to walk to the drop-off/pick-up area to gather your child, we ask that parents park on the streets or in the front parking lot and walk to the back of the building.
At the end of the day all parents pick up from our back loop. Your child will be waiting with their teacher and will be dismissed from here for safety reasons.
The free shuttle runs to and from our Elementary campus to our Middle/High School in the morning and afternoon. The Elementary bus departs at 7:20 am SHARP to Middle School and arrives at 7:30 am. Elementary students are advised to arrive at the Middle School by 7:30 a.m. to take the shuttle back to the Elementary.
