Day School

Our Mission and Vision

The University Presbyterian Day School is a vibrant early learning community committed to delivering engaging, developmentally appropriate programs that inspire growth, curiosity, and discovery in young children. Our mission is to foster a nurturing, creative, and inclusive environment that supports the intellectual, physical, social, and emotional development of every child. We aim to lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning by encouraging exploration, collaboration, and a love for discovery within a Christian ministry framework.

Our History and Oversight

Established in 1961, the University Presbyterian Day School has been a cornerstone of early childhood education in our community for over six decades. Operating under the guidance of the Day School Committee of the University Presbyterian Church Session, we uphold a legacy of excellence and care. As a Louisiana State Licensed Facility, we adhere to the stringent standards set by the Louisiana Department of Education State Licensing Board, ensuring a safe and high-quality educational environment for all children in our care.

Our Programs

We offer a range of programs tailored to children from 3 months to 4 years old, designed to meet their developmental needs at every stage:

Infant Programs (3–12 months): Focused on sensory exploration, motor skill development, and nurturing care to build trust and security.
Toddler Programs (1–2 years): Emphasize early language skills, social interaction, and independence through play-based learning.
Preschool Programs (3–4 years): Introduce foundational academic concepts, creativity, and problem-solving in a structured yet flexible setting.

Our curriculum integrates hands-on activities, music, art, and outdoor play to spark curiosity and promote holistic growth. Small class sizes and dedicated staff ensure personalized attention for each child.

Our Community Impact

As a Christian ministry, the University Presbyterian Day School is dedicated to serving families in our community with compassion and excellence. We partner with parents to create a supportive network that fosters each child’s unique potential. Our commitment extends beyond the classroom through community outreach, family events, and parent education workshops, strengthening the bonds that make our school a true community hub.
