About Our Program

First Presbyterian Preschool is a ministry of First Presbyterian Church and this year we celebrate our 72nd year of school! We provide a play-based preschool experience designed to help children learn, grow, and thrive.

Building Confidence Through Play & Learning

At First Presbyterian Preschool, children learn through hands-on exploration, creativity, movement, and play. Our high scope curriculum encourages children to become confident thinkers while developing socially, emotionally, physically, and academically. With nurturing teachers, enriching experiences, and a focus on kindergarten readiness, we help each child build the skills they need to grow and thrive.
