Accreditation is by the Association of Christian Schools International. The preschool at First Christian Church is designed to foster social and intellectual growth as well as coordination in a developmentally appropriate program. The program features consecutive class days and ratios of two teachers per twelve students. Each day begins with chapel time, then we move back to the classroom for instruction time, which includes art projects, songs, centers, snacks, and stories all designed to stimulate imagination, creativity and intellectual growth. The program is available to children two through five years old.
Education is a trusting partnership between children, teachers, parents, community and the church.
The mission at First Church Preschool is to provide an environment that enhances physical, emotional and social growth at appropriate developmental levels. The school, which opened in 1997, provides a challenging curriculum for college-bound students of all denominations. In addition to academics, the school has numerous extracurricular activities, including soccer, basketball, track, golf, cheerleading, drama, yearbook, newspaper, student council and others. Students are also challenged to reach out to the community through the Campus Ministry program. The Early Childhood Center is staffed with loving, capable teachers who provide students with a solid preschool foundation.
