About Genesis Christian Day School
WELCOME GENESIS VISITORS
​
My name is Lisa Weathers-Hall and I am Head of Schools for Genesis Christian Day Schools and Learning Centers. Thank you for visiting our site. As a young mother, I remember the excitement of preparing for my son’s first days of preschool. I had spent many hours examining the offerings of area schools. I was looking for a Christian school that would challenge him academically and teach the values we had begun to instill in him at home. I made phone calls, visited various schools and spent time in their classrooms. I asked the questions most parents ask. I compared tuition and fees and considered the commute to the different locations. Finally, I made my choice and enrolled my son.
The early days of my son’s schooling were challenging. He never wanted to stay. I was concerned about his unhappiness but I initially chalked it up to the newness of the situation. My son was bright and inquisitive. He loved learning. He learned quickly. He loved playing with other children. But he didn’t like the school. He never wanted to go to school. Watching my son as he interacted with the teachers in his school and listening to him each day, I began to wonder what exactly makes school a pleasant experience for children. Reading a newspaper article about an organization called the National Learning Laboratory, I began my search for answers.
​
THE IMPORTANCE OF A CHILD'S LEARNING ENVIRONMENT
​
Working closely with the National Learning Laboratory over the next several years, I came to understand how important a child's learning environment is and the breadth of influence that educators wield in the classroom. I also developed an enlightening grasp of how critical teachers’ attitudes and behavior are in shaping students’ ideas and feelings about school. My preconceptions about early education were forever changed.
This was the beginning of my quest to create learning environments where children experience the excitement of learning and the warmth of a nurturing atmosphere. Genesis Christian Day Schools and Learning Centers were born out of my desire to make children’s earliest and most important learning experiences the best they can be.
I invite you to visit us and see for yourself what a special school experience Genesis offers.

Before & After Care
For many parents, the work day starts too early and ends too late for childcare during regular business hours alone. For others, the uplifting Christian environment that Genesis provides gives their child a level of peace, confidence, and moral grounding that they cannot find in their daily school atmosphere. That is why Genesis Before & After Care is proud to offer warmth, academic assistance, and inspiration for the students of local elementary schools at an affordable price. Homework with help is just the beginning when it comes to our exciting after care program. Other daily edifying after care activities include arts & crafts, group games, sports, and Bible lessons. Transportation is provided where applicable. And as an added amenity, on days when Prince George's County Schools are closed and Genesis is open, our Before & After Care students get to attend Genesis all day!
