NPCA Preschool
Mission Statement
Northwest Presbyterian Christian Academy (NPCA), an outreach ministry of Northwest Presbyterian Church, exists to glorify God and further His kingdom through a loving, Christ-centered preschool environment. NPCA serves preschoolers and their families through academic and spiritual development beginning at age two. While focusing on Christian education, NPCA will minister to children, their families, and its staff.
Our Goals
Our goals are to inspire children to reach their academic potential and to grow spiritually, physically, socially, emotionally, and creatively in a Christ-centered environment using a Bible-based curriculum.

Kindergarten
We also have a kindergarten class that meets Monday through Friday, 9:30 AM - 1 PM. Meet kindergarten teacher Chanelle McCampbell:
"I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Development and Family Science and my Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have more than 15 years of experience teaching Kindergarten, First Grade and as a Reading Specialist for K-3 students with Marysville Exempted Village School District. I have been teaching here since 2018, when I helped to launch the Kindergarten program at NPCA. I fell in love with NPCA when my boys attended preschool here and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to work here where I can share the love of Jesus with my students.
My husband and I moved to Dublin after we graduated from The Ohio State University. We met at Ohio State through a college ministry. We have two boys, Hudson and Harrison. In my free time, I enjoy working out, gardening, baking and making memories with my family.”
Parent Testimonials

"Two of my four kids have completed the Kindergarten program at NPCA, my fourth child will also be attending when he is of age. I can’t say enough about the program, from the small class room size, to the individual attention that Mrs. McCampbell provides for her students, to the hands-on learning. My children were very prepared for first grade due to this one on one instruction that can only be provided in a small teacher-to-kid ratio. The faith component was another bonus to this class. My kids graduated knowing Jesus better than they did before they started. I would highly recommend this program to anyone considering a private Kindergarten."

"Our daughter's experience with Mrs. McCampbell's Kindergarten class has far exceeded our expectations. Our oldest daughter went to a public kindergarten, and we loved her teacher, but the capacity that her teacher had for individual attention was much less. Gracie has learned so many new skills, and we love how Mrs. McCampbell has helped develop community with her classroom and has made kindergarten such an incredible experience for us. Gracie has gone from, essentially, a non-reader, to being able to read whole books, sound her way through complicated words, and have the confidence and endurance to read material that I would have thought out of her reach. As a former public school teacher, I have been so impressed by the quality of education provided through NPCA's kindergarten classroom, Mrs. McCampbell's care and skill as an educator, and the general ethos of the faith-based foundation provided to our daughter. I could not overstate the blessing that NPCA and Mrs. McCampbell has been to us. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking at options for their child's education."

“NPCA has been instrumental in laying foundational groundwork of faith in our children. We have had two children transition from three year old rooms, to Pre-K and through Kindergarten. Our children have been set up with academic, faith and moral foundations that we believe instrumental in their educational journey. All the teachers have been attentive, caring and gone the extra mile in countless situations and transitions. We are so grateful to NPCA for setting our children up for success and would recommend NPCA to any parents considering sending their children here.”
