Throughout the year, MCPCP enriches the learning experience with special events and activities including field trips, the Fall Festival (featuring a petting zoo, hayrides, and pumpkin patch), Spring Fling field days, weekly Children’s Church services, Scholastic Book Fairs, community helper visits (fire truck, police car, dental hygienist), and performances by the Children’s Theatre of Charlotte. Pre-K students enjoy monthly Terrific Tuesdays celebrations and a formal graduation ceremony, while all classes benefit from regular library visits and interactive learning experiences.
