KPC Day School

KPC Day School opened its doors in September 1982 to approximately 70 students and 15 employees. The Session of Kempsville Presbyterian Church, along with a few devoted individuals, started this ministry because they recognized a need for high quality childcare and education for young children in a loving, Christian environment. The school has now grown to a staff of approximately 30 and a student body of about 200 students. KPC Day School teaches and provides care for children ages three years through kindergarten. In addition, we also serve public school children grades K-5 in a before/afterschool program. We offer a morning preschool program for 3 and 4 year olds which is a structured early childhood program. Preschool classes meet for two (T/Th-3 year olds only), three (MWF) or five (M-F) mornings per week. Preschool hours are 9:00-11:30 AM with a 15-minute drop-off and pick-up time before and after class (8:45-11:45 AM). In addition, our Kindergarten program meets Monday through Friday with 2 short days and 3 long days (M/F 9:00 AM?12:30 PM (8:45AM-12:45PM); T/W/TH 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM (8:45AM-3:15PM). Along with allowing for more instructional time, this introduction of long days assists in preparing the students for full days of school in the elementary grades. We also offer a childcare program from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM for children of parents who need full-time care for their children. Extended care is available at an hourly rate for children whose parents desire occasional extended care beyond morning preschool or kindergarten hours. All children enrolled in our full day program attend morning preschool or kindergarten.
