Christ Church Episcopal Preschool educates young children, creates community among school, families, and church, and honors and nurtures children in the Episcopal tradition. We welcome children aged two to five in small classes where all are affirmed as children of God and are inspired and encouraged to become their best selves—socially, emotionally, academically and spiritually.

WHO WE ARE

Located at the end of a long, private lane and backing onto the Hagley Museum’s 235 preserved acres, Christ Church Episcopal Preschool feels removed from the hustle of modern life. So much so, that it’s easy to forget that we are in the heart of Wilmington, with Route 141 and I-95 close at hand.

Our parents appreciate the long entrance. It provides a transition to school, and its gentler rhythm. Here, there is room for young children to grow at their speed, space for them to explore, and time for them to be preschoolers. They are not in a hurry to become kindergartners and elementary students. They are not trying to keep up with older children.

This place is made just for them. It honors their stage in life.

Each year our school (averaging 65 - 70 children) provides an intimate and nurturing environment for preschool children aged 18 months to 5 years on our campus in Wilmington, DE.


OUR CAMPUS

Our 22 acre campus is graced with old oaks, maples, and black walnuts. There is a field for chasing bubbles, a slope for winter sledding and hoop rolling, and wooded areas for climbing over logs and playing hide and seek.

A nature trail connects the two traditional playgrounds. An award-winning outdoor classroom encourages discovery. A garden bursts with ripening lettuce, peas, and herbs planted by the children. The barefoot sensory trail invites everyone to remove shoes and experience the textures and smells of grass, sand, pine needles, logs, and river rocks.

Light pours into the classrooms through long banks of windows. Hot lunch is served from our kitchen daily. And, the rafters in the chapel soar overhead as the children sing.

FLEXIBILITY

Whether you’re looking for your child to have a few hours of socialization each week or you’re looking for an alternative to daycare, we have a solution. We have half and full-day programs for both three-day and five-day students,

Being flexible allows us to meet the varying needs of our families.
