ABOUT US

Aldersgate Weekday School is a half-day preschool and a place where parents and children feel safe… a place where children learn independence… a place where children feel respected and accepted… a place where children are encouraged to explore the world and ask questions… a place where children are surrounded by love and laughter.

Our goal is to help you, the parents, set the stepping-stones for your child’s development. We enjoy watching them grow and learn as we learn from them.

You are invited to come and visit with us and participate in the early stages of your child’s growth and development.
