“During this difficult time, Knox’s teachers have been nothing short of absolutely amazing! They ask about Knox all the time! From Ms. Monifah asking about his counting to Ms. Sonia reminding us to dance with Knox and that he likes certain Spanish songs. Knox’s teachers bring him great joy and I know he misses them SO much! We can’t wait to return to work with the peace of mind that our sons life is enriched with love, laughter, and bilingual education. When this all started he would say “Agua” for water and could count to 13! Now he says “water” and counts “1, mommy, baby”. We’re just not as good of teachers! Can’t wait to bring that enrichment back in his life and we miss you guys more than you know! Thank you for ALL that you do and for caring for our son so incredibly much!”

The Courthouse Academy Difference
This 30 second video provides an at-a-glance overview of Courthouse Academy and what makes us unique. We’re not your typical daycare, preschool, or elementary school.
“SEC commends Courthouse Academy for their continued commitment to safety and security. As members of the SEC community, they are raising the bar to protect what matters most.”
EDUCATION IS A #1 PRIORITY
Guided by our nurturing, certified, and highly experienced teachers, we foster your child’s educational growth, laying a strong foundation that will give them an edge now and in life.
FULLY BILINGUAL SPANISH
IMMERSION PROGRAMS
A full English and Spanish environment awaits your preschooler or school-age child. Bilingualism has been well documented to be a significant competitive advantage at every stage of life, in school, later in college and getting the best job opportunities.
SOCIAL SKILLS, RESPECT,
AND CONFIDENCE
Education is not just about math, science, art and literature, but also developing critical social skills, and interacting with both other children and adults in a respectful manner. When children have self-esteem and strong social skills, it helps them be confident learners.
PRESCHOOL THAT SETS YOUR CHILD UP
FOR A LIFETIME OF SUCCESS
Through our engaging curriculum and teaching staff, your child will be more than ready for kindergarten and grade school years – either with us and continue their bilingual education or perhaps leading their peers elsewhere.
PERSONALIZED INDIVIDUAL
CHILD CARE & ATTENTION
We strive to provide each student with one-on-one time to monitor their development and work on specific skills. Our goal is personalized care and attention to help your child discover their potential. As a parent, you’ll love the results.
SAFETY FOCUSED
All our teachers are first-aid and CPR certified. The school has an updated readiness plan in case of emergency. Our top priority is always safety first.

Had I known about Courthouse Academy years ago I would have enrolled my son in this school from 1st grade. Courthouse Academy has been a game changer and my son is doing so much better academically. The communication between the staff and parents is mind blowing. I’m sad that he will only get to experience 1 year but at the same time we are grateful for the experience.

My twins love this school and can’t wait to go there. Selecting the right school for my children was a difficult decision and an emotional one but, I have to say, I got this decision right! The staff knows my kids, the teachers care and call when there is a concern, and the academics are appropriate and meaningful! I have had a great experience overall and will continue to send my twins to this academy! Keep up the great job and many blessings to your staff!

My daughter has attended school here for three years. We absolutely love the school. She has learned so much here and always has a great time. The activities are varied each day and she has the opportunity to go to dance class, soccer, science classes, and others all the school which is really convenient for working parents. I would highly recommend the school!

Our daughter has been with Courthouse for a year now and we couldn’t be happier! We have nothing but positive things to say about their staff! We were very hesitant to place our daughter in school because of specific medical needs she requires, now we couldn’t imagine her being anywhere else! Our girl loves to count in spanish and enjoys dance class! I do not have enough words to say about Ms. Jacklynn! She is WONDERFUL to our girl and treats her as her own! If we could request her for every grade level we would!!!

About us
Greetings!
Welcome to the Newington Courthouse Preschool (NCP) ministry of Newington Baptist Church!
Preschool in today’s world is an important part of lifelong learning as it prepares a child for years of formal education. At NCP we lay a foundation for learning facts and figures in an atmosphere of caring and faith.
Newington considers every child a blessing from God and they are treated with the dignity and respect they deserve. That comes directly from the words of Jesus in the Bible. “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” Matthew 19:14. This is only one of Jesus’ teachings about the value of children as being precious in his sight.
It is a privilege to honor the trust you have placed in NCP by enrolling your child. It is our pledge to provide a great preschool experience where your child is loved by our faculty and staff. We also honor the trust that little children place in their teachers at this point in their young life. Trust and security is important to you, your child and to all the staff and faculty at NCP.
Raising your children to be healthy of body, mind and soul, requires love, patience and help from others. As we at Newington Baptist Church can be a friend and resource to you as a parent, please call on us. We are here for you and your child.
Blessings to you and your family.

Moving to a new city when my husband is deployed with the Navy is hard enough, but having to secure employment, a place to live and a safe school for our son made the situation even more challenging. Prior to Courthouse Academy, I had my son in two different schools. What I experienced was heartbreaking. Too often, childcare providers are underpaid and undertrained and not qualified enough to work with children. This leads to high turnover, stressed staff and a low-quality level of childcare. What I experienced at other childcare institutions was a sharp difference between the theory and the practice. My son was not learning anything, he was often placed in groups with other children that were much older or younger just to “keep ratio” and there were too many hazards and cases of poor judgment. At Courthouse Academy it has been a true breath of fresh air. All the teachers and teacher’s aides seem to truly love and enjoy their jobs and many have been there for a long time. There is always plenty of staff at the front desk and they keep the children very safe. The building is extremely clean, safe and always freshly decorated with the children’s school work. The teachers are organized, talented and communicate very well with parents. The teachers communicate with the children and the parents from a place of love and it shows in everything they do. You simply cannot put a price on peace of mind. And with Courthouse Academy, I never have to worry about my son’s safety because I trust the administrators and the staff there very much. At Courthouse Academy my son comes home and tells me what he learns every single day. I am no longer hearing “I don’t know”, or “I played”, or “I went outside” from my son. He sings me new songs in Spanish and English, he tells me the new words he is learning, he shows me his school work, and most of all he tells me how loving and kind his two teachers are which warms my heart and makes me so happy.

History
Settlement and confluence
The first Europeans known to have reached this area carved their names on beech trees near the river around 1775. By 1778, settlers had established McFadden Station on the north bank of the River Barren [2] .
Modern Bowling Green originated from the estates built by the Moore brothers (Robert and George) and General Elijah Covington (namesake of a town near Cincinnati) [2] . The Moore brothers arrived from Virginia around 1794. In 1798, two years after Warren County was formed, Robert Moore donated 2 acres (8,100 m²) of land to county trustees for the construction of public buildings. Soon after, he donated an additional 30 to 40 acres (120,000 to 160,000 m²) around the original site. Bowling Green was officially incorporated by the state of Kentucky on March 6, 1798.
Some controversy exists over the source of the city’s name. The city refers to the first meeting of district commissioners (1798) who named the city “Bolin Green” after Bowling Green in New York City, where patriots tore down a statue of King George III and melted it into bullets during the American Revolution [2] . According to the Encyclopedia of Kentucky, the name comes from Bowling Green, Virginia, where the early migrants came from, or from founder Robert Moore’s “ball alley game” [3] . Early records indicate that the city’s name was also spelled Bowlingreen.
19th century
By 1810, 154 people lived on Bowling Green. The growth of the steamboat trade and the proximity of the River Barren increased the town’s importance. Canal locks and dams on the River Barren made it more navigable. In 1832, the first transport railroad connected the river to the site of the current county court.
Despite the rapid urbanization of Bowling Green and the surrounding area in the 1830s, agriculture remained an important part of local life. A visitor to the city recounted the boast of a tavern owner named Benjamin Vance:
[Vance] says he saw a 32 inch turnip this fall and he has beetroot that weighs 16.5 pounds;… that the corn grows so fast in this area that every time you look at it, it grows a foot higher; that the “little hickory branches” that grow in the moors have roots the size of his feet. ..
southern markets.
Bowling Green has declared itself neutral in an attempt to avoid civil war. However, due to its advantageous location and resources, the Union and the Confederacy sought to take control of the city. Most of its residents rejected both the Confederacy and the Lincoln administration. On September 18, 1861, about 1,300 Confederate soldiers arrived from Tennessee to occupy the city under the command of Kentucky-born General Simon Bolivar Buckner. City’s Pro-Union Feelings Surprised Confederate Occupants [4] . Confederate soldiers fortified the surrounding hills to provide possible military approaches to valuable river and rail assets. In November 1861, the provisional Confederate government of Kentucky chose Bowling Green as their capital [5] .
On February 14, 1862, after receiving reports that Fort Henry on the Tennessee River and Fort Donelson on the Cumberland River had been captured by Union forces under Ulysses S. Grant, the Confederacy began to withdraw from Bowling Green. They destroyed the bridges over the River Barren, the railway depot and other important buildings that could be used by the enemy. The city was subject to destruction and raids during the remainder of the war. In the summer of 1864, Union General Stephen G. Burbridge arrested 22 civilians in and around Bowling Green on charges of treason. This incident and other federal mistreatment led to disillusionment with the Union and increased Confederate sympathy among the people of Bowling Green.
After the Civil War, Bowling Green’s business district grew significantly. Previously, agriculture dominated the city’s economy. During the 1870s, many of the historic business structures that are still in operation today were built. One of the most important businesses in Bowling Green during this era was the clothing company Carie Burnam Taylor. By 1906, Taylor employed over 200 women.
In 1868 the first water supply system was built in the city. The fourth county courthouse was completed in 1868. The first three were built in 1798, 1805 and 1813. In 1889, the first street cars pulled by mules appeared in the city. The first electric street cars began to replace them by 1895.
Foundation The Sisters of Charity of Nazareth founded St. Columbia Academy in 1862, succeeded in 1911 by St. Joseph’s School [6] . In 1884, Southern High School, founded in 1875, moved to Bowling Green from Glasgow, Kentucky. Pleasant J. Potter founded a women’s college at Bowling Green in 1889. It closed at 1909, and his property was sold to Western Kentucky State High School (now known as Western Kentucky University). Other important schools in that era were Warren Methodist College, Ogden College (which also became part of Western Kentucky University), and Green River Women’s College.
20th century
In 1906, Henry Hardin Cherry, president and owner of South High School, donated it to the state as the foundation of West State High School. The school has prepared teachers for the growing educational needs of the state. This institution is currently known as Western Kentucky University and is the second largest public university in the state, recently surpassing the University of Louisville.
In 1906, Doctors Lillian G. South, Jay-Ann McCormack, and AT McCormack opened St. Joseph’s Hospital to provide medical and nursing care to residents and students [7] [8] .
In 1925, the third and last station of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad was opened. About 27 trains arrived at the depot daily. Intercity bus lines were also a popular form of travel. By the 1960s, rail travel had declined sharply in the face of competition from airlines and automobiles. The station has been adapted for use as a museum.
In 1940, the Union Underwear factory built in Bowling Green greatly improved the city’s economy. In the 1960s, the city’s population began to outnumber that of Ashland, Paducah, and Newport.
City streets have become narrow for traffic. In 1949, the U.S. Bypass was opened. Route 31W to ease traffic problems. The bypass has become the business center of Bowling Green. A 1954 advert said, “Your business can grow in the direction that Bowling Green is growing – bypassing the 31W.”
By the 1960s, stores had moved from the shopping area in the city center to suburban malls. From May to November 1967, stores opened in Bowling Green Mall. Another advertisement said, “One time shopping. Just park [free], get out and shop. Everything is at hand.” From September 1979 to September 1980, stores appeared in the larger Greenwood Mall. The city limits began to extend to Interstate 65.
By the end of the 1960s, Interstate 65, east of Bowling Green, was completed. The Green River Freeway (now the William H. Natcher Freeway) was completed in the 1970s to connect Bowling Green and Owensboro. These vital transportation arteries have attracted many industries to Bowling Green.
In 1981, General Motors moved its Chevrolet Corvette assembly plant from St. Louis, Missouri to Bowling Green. In the same year, the National Corvette Homecoming event was organized – a large annual meeting of Corvette owners, car parades and related events in Bowling Green. At 19In 1994, the National Corvette Museum was built next to the assembly plant.
In 1997, Bowling Green was designated Tree City USA on National Arbor Day.
21st Century Initiatives
In 2012, the city conducted a feasibility study on ways to regenerate downtown Bowling Green. Plans for the project included Bowling Green’s waterfront assets, as well as its historic center and cityscape around Fountain Square. Also proposed were a new building for the Chamber of Commerce, the construction of Riverwalk Park, where the city center borders the River Barren, the creation of a new public park called Circus Square, and the installation of a new shopping area Fountain Square [9] .
In the spring of 2009, the new Chamber of Commerce, Riverwalk Park and Circus Square were built. The Southern Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts (a center for the arts and education) opened its doors in October 2009, hosting the Vince Gill Concert [10] on March 10, 2012. In 2012, the construction site for the Fountain Square was laid.
In 2005, an attempt was made to include Whitewater Park on the waterfront of Bowling Green, but the project was ultimately not funded.
In 2011, the Bowling Green Riverfront Foundation expanded its land development efforts on the opposite side of the River Barren, upstream at Pit Park. The new plans include the use of the adjacent river for water sports – the length of the river includes rapids rated on the international river difficulty scale between classes II and IV, as well as a mountain bike trail, a pump trekking trail and a rock climbing area [11 ]. Part of this facility will be located in a buried landfill that served as the landfill site of Bowling Green for many years.
