About
Mountain Chapel Preschool and Mother’s Day Out is a faith-based early childhood program serving families in the Rocky Ridge community of Vestavia Hills, Alabama. Established in 1963, it operates as a ministry of the church and focuses on providing a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for preschool-age children. Programs include preschool classes and a Mother’s Day Out option designed to build foundational skills and prepare children for kindergarten.
The curriculum is current and appropriately challenging, led by qualified teachers who support each child’s spiritual, social, cognitive, and physical development. Core objectives include encouraging acceptance of others, fostering a love of learning, and helping children become secure in themselves and their friendships. The program is directed by Shelley Faulkner.
With deep roots in the community and a consistent emphasis on readiness for elementary school, Mountain Chapel Preschool and Mother’s Day Out offers families structured, caring programs that support growth across early developmental domains.
