Classrooms will be open from 9:00-11:00
On Wednesday there will be time to view the kindergarten and the teachers will be available for a question and answer session.

Nursery School (Ages 3–5)
This program seeks to develop the total child, spiritually, physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. The teachers strive to build good social and work habits and encourage the child's own creative and constructive efforts. Our approach stresses both individual learning and group activities through guided discovery.
   
We have two programs available. Both programs run in the morning from 8:45 AM to 11:45 AM. Our 2-day program is designed for children who are three years old by October 1. This program takes place on Tuesday/Thursday or Wednesday/Friday. Our 3-day program is designed for children who are four years old by October 1. This program takes place on Monday/Wednesday/Friday or Tuesday/Thursday/Friday. An optional extended-day program (from 1 to 5 afternoons) is available for children in our 3-day program.

Our Christian Philosophy is emphasized throughout our Pre-School curriculum. Bible content is taught in each of the classes.

Kindergarten
ODCA believes that children should enter the Kindergarten program when they are developmentally ready to do so, thus assuring a smoother transition into a structured educational experience. Any child entering our program must be 5 years of age by October 1.
     
Bible, language development, art, music, story telling, social development, science, math and field trips are all part of our Kindergarten curriculum. A formal reading program is included. Our Kindergarten places an emphasis on academic readiness.
   
Two Kindergarten classes meet each weekday morning from 8:45 AM to 11:45 AM. Both morning classes are the same and are designed to prepare the student to enter first grade. An optional extended-day afternoon program (from 1 to 5 afternoons) is available, if desired.

Readiness (Ages 5–6)
The Readiness program seeks to develop the total child, spiritually, physically, mentally, socially and emotionally. This program has periods of active play along with quiet learning experiences. The Readiness class is unique in that it is designed for the child who is of Kindergarten age, but the parent and school feel another year of preparation would benefit him/her. Every child will complete a program designed to prepare them for Kindergarten. The Readiness program takes place five mornings a week from 8:45 AM to 11:45 AM. An optional extended-day program (from 1 to 5 afternoons) is available, if desired.
