Description: Our Weekday Early Education School is a program of care and education for preschoolers, 6 weeks of age until entrance into kindergarten. First Baptist provides a Christian environment for preschoolers to learn and grow.Our Weekday program uses the WEE Learn Curriculum Guides published by Lifeway Christian Resources as the basis for our teaching curriculum. Teachers enhance this material with other resources to meet the needs of the total child. Our WEE School program will include activities that help the child grow emotionally, mentally, physically, socially, and spiritually.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.
