Description: Hobson Preschool, Kindergarten and Mother's Day Out is a nonprofit organization established by First Presbyterian Church in 1950 and is an integral part of the Church's ministry. The church's commitment to the program is based on the understanding that young children deserve a quality, affordable preschool education within a loving, Christian environment.
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.
