Preschool @ The Springs is the weekday preschool of Church @ The Springs, on SE 58th Avenue in southeast Ocala. The church describes it as partnering with parents as they raise their kids for Christ, and the school pairs the Frog Street curriculum with Bible lessons in a play-based day.
There are two classrooms each for 1-year-olds, 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds and VPK. VPK is free once a family has its certificate from the Early Learning Coalition of Marion County, and wrap-around care keeps VPK children until 6 p.m. The school is nut-free, and families send snacks and lunches.
Weekly rates are posted on its FAQ page: $205 a week for a full day for 2- to 4-year-olds and $220 for 1-year-olds, plus a $175 annual registration fee. The FAQ noted August openings in the 2s and 3s rooms as of June 2026; call for current availability.
Before you visit
Call ahead to ask about openings for your child's age, the current tuition and registration fees, and how faith is part of the day. If you plan to use VPK, apply for a Certificate of Eligibility through the Early Learning Coalition of Marion County before you enroll; the provider needs it to hold a VPK seat.
