Program Information

At Chapel Hill Child Development Center we serve children ages 8 weeks to 5 years.  Our teachers are trained throughout the year on the latest research and education in developmentally appropriate practices for young children.  We strive to maintain positive interactions, age-appropriate communication and play based learning. Our program hours are 7am to 5:30 pm Monday-Friday.  Breakfast should be eaten prior to arrival at school.  Lunch, morning and afternoon snack should be packed daily along with a thermos.  We follow the Tuscaloosa County School calendar with minimal exceptions including August start date and Good Friday. As of June 2025, we are NO LONGER open June and July each calendar year.  


CURRICULUM

Our play-based curriculum features opportunities for ALL children (yes, even infants!) to have daily exposure to Science, Math, Reading/Writing, Dramatic Play, Art and Music.  Curriculum is based on developmentally appropriate practices for children birth to five years of age.

At Chapel Hill Child Development Center, we believe ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE!  We are in process of adding an outdoor component to our daily curriculum based on developmental needs and the latest research in current struggles and unfilled needs of preschool-aged children.  Check out our FACEBOOK PAGE for what is happening outdoors at

Extra-Curricular Activities

CompuChild

Lisa Hunt brings CompuChild, a traveling technology-based program, to our preschool.  CompuChild focuses on STEAM learning through basic computer skills (keyboard functions, mouse skills and Windows early learning). Children 2 years of age and older can participate in CompuChild.  Enrollment is optional and privately paid by parents to the instructor via cash, check or VENMO.


Soccer Shots

Soccer Shots is a traveling soccer experience that visits the preschool twice a month introducing children ages 2 and older to the basics of the game.  In each 30-minute session, through well trained coaches and age-appropriate curriculum, children have opportunities to run, kick and score a goal.  In addition, Soccer Shots teaches character development through skill building and the team building word of the day.  Participation is optional and fees are paid to Chapel Hill CDC with monthly tuition.
