What to Expect
We learn to play and play to learn! Our teachers provide hands-on activities for toddlers through five-year-old children. Our child-centered program makes learning FUN!
A happy place for children where Christian ideas are presented as a way of life rather than a separate subject.
We are taking extra precautions for the safety of your children and our staff by following all guidelines for schools and providing additional cleaning in the classrooms.
Small student-to-teacher ratios allow for plenty of child-to-adult interactions as well as time for each child to explore ideas and learn by doing.

We use the same birthdate cut-off as Wake County Schools. Toddlers must be 15 months old on or before August 31, 2024. Two through five-year-olds must be the age of the class they are entering on or before August 31, 2024. Only children who are five by August 31 may register for the Transitional K class. Others may be placed in this class upon discretion of the director.
We reserve the right to maintain a reasonable boy/girl ratio in each class.
If space allows, toddlers and twos may register for both classes.
Please Note: All children entering the three-year-old class must be be able to use the bathroom independently. Toddlers must be walking when school starts.
We will use the following point system in cases where two or more children request the same class and there is only one opening:
- One point for active Saint Andrews church membership.
- One point for each year this child has been enrolled in the program.
- One point for each year a sibling has been enrolled in the program, past and present.
- If all priorities are considered and two or more children still meet then equally, we will draw names to determine who will get the available space.
Lunch Bunch
We offer Lunch Bunch Monday through Friday for all children. Please review the Lunch Bunch registration form for more information.
The yearly fee for each day of the week that your child attends Lunch Bunch is $160.00. You may pay your entire Lunch Bunch tuition all at once, or pay in installments of $20 per month. Lunch Bunch payments are made September – April; there is no Lunch Bunch payment in August.
Scholarships
The amount of money available for scholarships varies from year to year and we make every effort to award all available funds. You can find our tuition aid application on our forms page or by clicking here.
