First Kids
We’re not just a preschool. First Kids Preschool is a place of love, learning, safety, and belonging. We exist to nurture students’ intellectual curiosity, spirit of perseverance and resilient faith in Jesus Christ.
Through praise, encouragement, and redirection, we not only help students grow academically and spiritually, we also develop a resilience in their character that motivates them to persevere and thrive in all areas of life.
First Kids Preschool is a part-time, state licensed preschool for children ages 6-weeks up to PreK. Our school year runs from August-May, Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, 9AM to 2PM (with late care until 3PM)

WHAT’S BEHIND ALL THAT PLAY?
Take a peek into any of our classrooms and you’ll see children and teachers having a whole lot of fun. But there’s more to First Kids than playing around. We believe that play is one of the best ways a child learns. Whether we’re babbling with babies or building with blocks, our lessons and activities have educational goals and objectives for all ages, even infants. Our curriculum covers all areas of development from language, literacy, math and movement to creative expression, socialization, spiritual growth and scientific discovery. Best of all, our curriculum activities happen to be a whole lot of fun! Come visit and let us show you what really happens when we play.
CURRICULUM WE USE
WEE Learn (for Infants/Babies): A comprehensive curriculum using books, music, nature, and toys to illustrate Christian fundamentals and nurture development.
Itty Bitty Bookworm (for Toddlers-PreK): Hands-on, creative curriculum with a Bible component. All activities and lessons are related to quality children’s literature.
Chapel
Chapel is held for students 3 and older on Wednesday mornings at 9:20! Ms. Sarah reviews a weekly Bible Story, and dives deeper with activity. Don’t be late!
MOVEMENT LAB
Music and movement obviously go hand in hand. During classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, we incorporate Bible stories, Bible songs and prayer to reinforce Bible concepts as well as the importance of music in worship and praise to God.\
In addition children learn to use instruments and have special musicians come and play for them and reinforce concepts throughout the year.
