Covenant Classical Schools & Daycare® offers a safe and secure environment along with an exceptional academic curriculum, all in a distinctly Christian atmosphere. CCS has three campuses in  the Birmingham area—Pelham, Trace Crossings and Valleydale. Each encourages a love of learning that begins in the infant stage extending through Kindergarten. We want to serve alongside families and communities to build relationships that impact the lives of the children that walk through our doors. We know that the difference truly is in the details of life—it’s the little things that speak volumes. And at CCS, those little things make the difference.

From a Birmingham Mom: " a great Early Learning Center and MDO Program… one of the best"

Odyssey Early School is a full time childcare program with locations in the Inverness and Trace Crossings neighborhoods of Birmingham, AL.   This is an NAEYC-accredited program. 

From a local Birmingham Mom:  "Perfect Puzzle Preschool is a new preschool in Homewood.  They do full time and part time child care.  Demita, the owner and teacher, is fantastic! I'm a work-at-home mom so I needed a MDO program that started earlier than 9am.  She is very flexible with what times you need for daycare/MDO.  Also, included every two weeks is either a Friday date night (7-11pm) or a shopping Saturday (9am-1pm). I haven't seen ANY preschool that offers that."
