Preschools in Columbia, TN

Columbia has 10 preschools in Tennessee, 9 of them in Maury County and one based in Summertown in Lawrence County. The local trade leans toward faith-based programs. Rise & Shine Christian Academy, Christ Our Savior Academy, Zion Christian Preschool, Craft Christian Day School and Northside Christian Academy each carry a Christian focus in the name, Columbia Academy describes itself as Christ-centered, and Craft Memorial United Methodist Church counts its day school among its ministries.

Care for the youngest children is a strong thread here. Children's Corner Academy, Inc. enrolls from 6 weeks to 5 years and offers early drop-off or late pickup. Little Sprouts Discovery Center opened in January 2020 for the children of employees of Farm Bureau companies and runs infant, toddler and Pre-Kindergarten classes in a nationally accredited, 3-star program, with a primary caregiver for each infant. Christ Our Savior Academy runs Little Lambs, a session for infants and toddlers ages 0 to 3 where a parent stays throughout for Bible stories, music and movement, sensory activities, simple crafts and a snack.

Older preschoolers have their own choices. Rise & Shine Christian Academy cares for children ages 2 to 5 with full-time care and age-appropriate classes, and families using the State Certificate Program can enroll. Columbia Academy sits on a campus built in 1890, and its preschool leads into a program that runs to 12th grade. Two-year-olds start in Miss Cathy's House, then move on to Pre-K and a Jr. Kindergarten class with formal reading and math readiness. For a family that wants one school through the grades, that is the path on offer.
