The Early Education program of Ovilla Christian School will provide a secure environment for healthy development as students learn the skills necessary to love learning and come to understand the truth of God’s love for people.

The Early Education program at Ovilla Christian includes 2-day and 5-day options for the youngest Eagles! Both options are designed to foster age-appropriate learning environments where students are introduced to being in a structured classroom.

With care and wisdom, our teachers attend not only to the academic but also to the social, emotional, and spiritual development of the students. The curriculum is made up of the traditional basic courses taught from a distinctively Christian perspective to lay a foundation for the strong academic curriculum in the OCS Lower School and beyond.

The 2-day program operates in a similar manner as the MDO program that we used to offer through ORBC. Babies (12 months and older) through age 4 years come to class on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

If you are looking for Monday–Friday education, we offer PreK3 and PreK4 for eligible 3- and 4-year-olds. Read more about the change from Mother’s Day Out to Early Education on the OCS Leadership Blog.
