The Pre School Program is a ministry of the First Presbyterian Church of Eden, North Carolina. It is governed by the Session that has delegated the general oversight to the Pre School Committee. The Director, a paid staff member of the Church staff, will oversee the daily operations of the Pre School Program.

To provide a Christian atmosphere where each child will be able to grow spiritually, physically, intellectually, emotionally, and socially.

The Pre School Program is comprised of four divisions. Each division is based on the age of the children and the number of day per week the class meets. School starts at 9: am and ends of 12:00 noon. They are as follows:

• Two-Year Old Class – The class meets on Wednesday and Thursdays each week. The maximum enrollment is 12. We have one class and the cost is $120.00 per month.
• Three-Year Old Class – The classes meet on Mondays and Tuesdays of each week. The maximum enrollment is 12 per class. We have two classes and the cost is $120.00 per month.
• Four-Year Old (3 Days) Class – The classes meet on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays of each week. Each class has a maximum enrollment of 12. We have two classes and the cost is $145.00 per month.
• Four-Year Old (5 Days) Class – The class meets 5 days a week. The maximum enrollment is 9. We have one class and the cost is $170.00 per month.
