About Us

The purpose of the First Presbyterian Church Weekday School is to help each individual child grow to his or her full potential at his or her own rate of development, in a Christian setting.

The Weekday School provides the kind of environment and type of facility and experiences that will help the child grow spiritually, mentally, socially, emotionally, and physically.

The Weekday School is a place where habits, concepts, skills, social living and values are developed.


We have classes for 1, 2, 3, and 4 year olds. Children need to be the age for the class by September 30 of that year. Children need to be potty trained to go into the 3 and 4 year old classes.


In addition to classroom learning and art activities, the children participate in Chapel with the Church's Pastor, Library time with the Martinsville Children's Librarian, and Science and Discovery activities. The four year old classes learn to play children's handbells.

We also go on field trips, such as Owen Farm, and several classes go to Kings Grant and Edwards Adult Home to visit the residents.
