About the Provider

Description: The First Presbyterian Preschool Program was established in October, 1946 as a Weekday School Kindergarten to provide an early childhood education program for the members of this church and community. While the structure of the school has occasionally changed, the Program has continued to be dedicated to the promotion of sound physical, intellectual, social, emotional, and spiritual growth of children in their formative years. We look upon our school as a small community that seeks to educate children to be creative, loving, and caring individuals. Our challenge is to provide a climate for growth where children are helped to understand their world through the full use of their senses , feelings, and intellects.

My son attended here for3 years. Excellent staff and excellent program. Some programs I initially looked at seemed too structured and some not structured enough. First Presby Preschool has done a great job balancing structure with play and creativity.
