Our School’s History
Palma Ceia Presbyterian Preschool was founded in 1979 by Director Emeritus, Nancy Little. Started as an early education outreach to children with special need of support, our preschool grew to become a model of full-inclusion. Recognized through both regional and national awards, our school continues to exemplify excellence in early childhood education through our commitment to developmentally appropriate practices, partnerships with the University of Tampa and the University of South Florida, our arts endowment, and our understanding of the sacredness of childhood.
