About First Kids Preschool

First Kids Preschool strives to nurture each child’s individuality and innate curiosities in a loving, Christian environment. Our goal is to instill a desire for lifelong learning as we prepare preschoolers for kindergarten and the world beyond.

Our Philosophy

We believe that each child is unique, and we do our best to nurture the intrinsic God-given gifts that each one brings and shares with us. We also believe that what truly makes a difference in a child’s life, beneath the method, materials, and curriculum, is a teacher who cares about each child and who teaches from the heart.

Toddlers and preschool children all learn best by “doing.” They are active learners who gain knowledge by acting directly on and with concrete objects. Through these actions, they can draw conclusions about their world. Within our daily classroom routine, we have many hands-on activities and projects designed to be stimulating and fun for your child. It is exciting to watch our toddlers and preschoolers as they tirelessly experiment and investigate the world.

TWENTY-ONE MONTHS THRU TWO-YEAR-OLD CLASS

Ages 21 months to 2 years old

THREE-YEAR-OLD CLASS

Children may attend 2, 3, or 4 days per week.

We embrace purposeful play and exploration to help children develop skills in cooperative play, listening, following directions, self-help, and communicating their needs with their developing language. Our daily lessons include early literacy and math activities

We provide many opportunities for our toddlers to explore their world within a safe and loving environment.

FOUR-YEAR-OLD CLASS

Children may attend 3, 4 or 5 days per week.

We prepare children for the transition to Kindergarten through purposeful play and exploration, continuing our focus on early literacy, math, fine motor skills and handwriting, communication, and the self-help skills necessary for kindergarten.

YOUNG FIVES CLASS

Our Young 5’s program is a full week, half day program designed for students who meet the age requirement for kindergarten but would benefit from an extra year of learning and growth. It is also open to students who will be turning five between September 1st and December 31st. This program works to provide a small classroom community where students work towards social, emotional and academic readiness for kindergarten. Our Young 5’s curriculum is very similar to our 4’s curriculum but works at a more accelerated rate. It includes content such as language, early literacy, math, handwriting, music, physical education, science, social studies, social/ emotional development and lots of play.
