What Makes Us Unique

  • Founded in 1968, we have been providing high quality preschool in the Radford community for over 50 years.
  • Our class sizes are small, allowing us to reach each student individually and resulting in family atmosphere.  Many friendships formed at Central Preschool continue throughout the school years.
  • We offer a loving Christian environment.  Classes participate in a short devotion with the church pastor once a week.​
  • Central Preschool is licensed by the Virginia Department of Social Services.



School Schedule

The preschool day begins at 8:45am and ends at 11:45am.

The school year begins the day after Labor Day, and ends the Friday prior to Memorial Day.

Central Preschool follows the Radford City Public School calendar throughout the school year for holidays and inclement weather closings.

​Registration is held in March for fall classes.
  • ​A birth certificate will be required on or before orientation in August.
