Description: The First Presbyterian Weekday School is a mission of the First Presbyterian Church of Belmont, North Carolina. Our central purpose is to provide the children of our church and the community with a strong Christian education in a loving and nurturing environment. Our goal is to help our students develop spiritually, intellectually, socially, emotionally and physically. Our program is open to all children regardless of racial, economic or religious background or circumstances
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
