Palmer Moravian Day School is designed to create programs for children between the ages of 18 months through Kindergarten. Varied experiences, peer relationships, growth and development are focused upon in our program.  It is a positive environment for the development of the children’s self-esteem in conjunction with their respect for each other.  The curriculum is planned to meet the social, emotional, intellectual and physical needs of the preschool child.

The Palmer Township Community Moravian Church established the Day School in 1983 as a ministry and service to the community.  We welcome people of all races, color, religious creed, disability, ancestry, national origin (including limited English proficiency), age, sex.

The PA Department of Public Welfare licenses our school.  The educational staff consists of the director, teachers, assistants and aides that meet the requirements of the DPW guidelines.
