Welcome to Heritage Classical Academy Preschool!

Our preschool exists to provide a Christ-centered environment that pursues excellence and prepares children for kindergarten and beyond. Our goal is to assist parents in the nurturing of young lives as we seek to equip students to think and live for Christ.

Vision

We believe each child is uniquely made by God, and we desire to partner with parents in providing opportunities for children to learn of God’s love for them at young ages. Our entire staff—teachers, administrators, and support staff—love the Lord Jesus Christ and are committed to providing a nurturing and loving environment which helps each child grow spiritually, mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically.

Class and Tuition Schedule

Preschool classes held at Bainbridge and Peninsula Campuses.

* Families can choose one of three options to pay preschool tuition:

  1. In full – payment is made in August
  2. 2 month payment plan – first payment is made in August, the second in February
  3. 9 month payment plan – payments begin in July and end in March

What is the difference between Jr. Kindergarten and Preschool 4’s?

The preschool 4’s class is intended for younger 4 year olds–children who are old enough for Jr. Kindergarten but do not plan to attend Kindergarten the following year.  Additionally, for families who plan to attend HCA’s preschool program for 3 years, it provides a different class option for all three years.   

The 4’s classroom provides an environment where students flourish while focusing on basic preschool skills and concepts. The Jr. Kindergarten class incorporates the same ideas of the 4’s class plus more advanced skills in order to prepare students for HCA’s thorough Kindergarten curriculum. 

If a child’s 4th birthday is between May and September, we recommend that parents consider the Preschool 4s class.

Preschool Rebate Program

HCA Preschool offers an exciting program created to help families afford a private Christian education. With this program, families can enjoy all the benefits of HCA’s preschool while also “saving” for elementary school.
