“Children are God’s apostles, day-by-day sent forth to preach of love, and hope, and peace.”
— James Russell Lowell
Apostles Community Preschool was founded in 1965 by Church of the Apostles, United Church of Christ. The original mission was to assist parents of our community in the upbringing of their children. Now, 59 years later, it continues its mission to offer a loving, caring, high-quality educational experience for our students. Our classes are for students ranging from 2 years old to Pre-Kindergarten age.
Located in the Hempfield School District, and based out of Church of the Apostles, ACP offers classes from two to five mornings a week, from 9:00 – 11:30am.
Our staff meets and in most cases exceeds the state requirements for early education teachers, with all of our teachers holding B.S. or M.S. degrees or equivalent experience in Early Childhood Education, Elementary Education, Special Education, or Social Work.
Our facilities offer bright and colorful classrooms, a music room, library, large carpeted gym, and outdoor playground. In addition, we make use of Rader Park. Located on the church campus, Rader Park provides an outdoor space, perfect for nature walks, enrichment programs, and our annual Summer Camp.
