Since 1985, we’ve created a joyful, Christ-centered preschool and kindergarten experience for children ages 2–6 (8 in the summer). Our program combines hands-on learning, outdoor exploration, and academic readiness in a nurturing environment that feels like family.

​See more about our curriculum and how we gently include faith in our program on our Curriculum and Assessments page.

​Charity UMC Preschool and Kindergarten is minutes from Red Mill and Sandbridge—located in the heart of the farm community of Pungo.
“We love Charity Preschool! The teachers treat your child like family. My daughter loved her 3 years there and talks about how much fun she had there all the time! We can't wait until our son is old enough to attend too! Charity is the best preschool in Virginia Beach!“
“Charity Preschool has been perfect for my little one (3y/o) and our family - this was our first year and I’m looking forward to another year already!! Communication with staff is always clear and open. The environment is uplifting and nurturing of each child. And I love that its all centered on Christian values!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

Preschool and Summer Camp Handbooks

"State law requires that facilities operated as child day centers be licensed. Centers operated by religious institutions may, however, exercise an option to be exempt from licensing standards, provided the religious institution files certain information with the Virginia Department of Social Services prior to opening the center and then annually prior to the expiration date of its exemption. Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) Division of Licensing Programs inspectors will conduct inspections to monitor the RECDC's compliance with Code requirements, investigate complaints if noncompliance with Code requirements is alleged, and monitor compliance with subsidy health and safety inspection requirements (if a program participates in subsidy). " This center is operating under a religiously exempt status.
