Preschool with Heart: Northview Preschool and Summer Camp Spotlight

May 4, 2025

For more than 45 years, Northview Preschool has been a beloved part of the community, offering families a warm, welcoming place where children learn, grow, and feel truly cared for. Located in Roanoke as a ministry of Northview United Methodist Church, this nurturing preschool is deeply committed to the well-being of the whole child — physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and spiritually.

At Northview, every child is seen as special and unique. The dedicated teaching staff works hand-in-hand with families to provide individual guidance and care. Their mission goes beyond ABCs and 123s — they focus on building a solid foundation of academics, social skills, and daily routines that prepare kids for a confident start in elementary school.

Preschool Year Details

Northview Preschool serves children ages 20 months to 5 years during the school year. Each day is thoughtfully structured to combine learning with play, giving children a well-rounded experience that promotes curiosity, kindness, and confidence.
