A Quality Early Childhood Education Program
Our preschool and childcare programs serve children from infants through age five with our after school and enrichment programs continuing up to age 12. We welcome all families, regardless of religion, color, origin, or lifestyle. We not only have an open-door policy, but also an open-heart policy. Our vision here at First Church for all our programs come down to three words: Invited, Welcomed and Loved. And in the Learning Centers, we are committed to living out that vision, so that each child feels a sense of warmth, safety, and every family feels a part of our larger and loving Learning Center community.
We are a star-rated, fully accredited, and VPK-approved with a team of teachers certified in early childhood education who have many years of experience and expertise. You will find our classrooms to be a friendly home away from home – a place where children can develop their unique gifts and talents, learn early academic skills, and enjoy growing up, knowing that they are loved. In our spacious lunchroom, children can share a healthy meal with classmates and teachers cooked and prepared on-site by our chef. The snacks that are provided consist of healthy ingredients, including fruits and vegetables, and are served fresh daily. Our outdoor play spaces, courtyard patios, and playgrounds invite children to enjoy physical activity, promoting health and physical development.

A Preschool Curriculum that Goes Beyond Montessori
At First Presbyterian Learning Centers, our preschools use Creative Curriculum, a teaching strategy that goes beyond the Montessori approach. Our curriculum takes the best from the Montessori methods and then adds to them from other approaches based on the very best research in early childhood learning and development. In other words, we choose not to be limited to only one approach as in a Montessori school, but rather to take the best from what research shows is most effective in early childhood education.
We Create a Nurturing Environment for Each Child
By nurturing the whole child, our approach pays attention to all major areas of early childhood learning: Social & Emotional, Physical Development & Motor Skills, Cognitive Development & Thinking Skills, and Language Development.
