First Presbyterian Church Preschool

Our Mission

In obedience with God's Word, our mission is to educate and nurture the preschool-aged children of our church and our community through loving Christian instruction in a quality learning environment. We seek to provide a preschool experience that will facilitate learning, foster self-esteem and encourage spiritual growth at your child’s own pace.

"Train up a child in the way he should go, when he is old he will not depart from it." Proverbs 22:6

Our Curriculum

"Childhood is not a race to see how quickly a child can read or write. Childhood is a small window of time to learn and develop at the pace which is right for each individual child."

A three-pronged Developmental Readiness Program with low staff/student ratios is offered for all age groups.

Bible activities and weekly Chapel for all classes encourage children to grow in faith and to develop responsible Christian behaviors. In all classes, our teachers, by example and through curriculum and supportive relationships with the children, encourage them to:
• See themselves as secure children of God
• Respond to God’s love by being concerned for and compassionate to others
• Develop a respect for and desire to protect and care for God’s creations
A developmental readiness program based on the Creative Hands-On Curriculum recommended by the National Association for the Education of Young Children, combined with Work Jobs, encourageds the children to develop skills needed for success in Kindergarten.
Children develop both large and small muscle coordination through participation in age appropriate activities on the playground and in the classroom.

What greater compliment could you give this program than a child who cried on her days off from school because she wanted to be there so badly?

Coming from the Northeast and relocating to Florida, we spent a lot of time looking at Preschools for our daughter. As a former teacher, there were certain things I was looking for and First Presbyterian had it all. From the most loving and nurturing staff to the “family like” small environment, we knew this was the perfect place. And it was! Our daughter has flourished and grown in so many ways and is now more than ready to begin Kindergarten. I highly recommend this incredibly wonderful school to anyone. Thank you Miss Diana and all the teachers for taking such great care of our daughter and preparing her so well for the next phase. We love you all!

If I had to describe FPC Preschool - the first word that comes to mind is 'family.' We relocated to South Florida with no friends or family in the state and we stumbled upon this preschool. From the first moments we walked in you could feel the warmth and see the smiles on everyone's faces. Two years later we not only have a child graduating but have made so many new friendships that will last forever. I can't thank them enough for all they have done for my children and my family.

FPCP is such a warm and loving place! The children learn to walk with Jesus. They are reminded to love their friends and be kind to others. Our son started his journey in the 2’s and will be in the 3’s MWF next year. His experience has been nothing short of amazing! We are so blessed to have FPCP in our lives! We are setting our children up for success – they make learning fun! We highly recommend FPCP to any family looking for a place that will love their children like their own!

My son absolutely loves going to school at FPC Preschool. He would go seven days a week if that was possible! Our whole family has felt valued and supported through the school year. Matthew’s teachers put God’s love at the center of all they do; they are truly a beacon of His light. We are so glad to have found a preschool that meets all our child’s needs at a pace appropriate for him.

My daughter went to PreK3 & PreK4 and loved it and now my little boy is going to PreK2 and will continue to PreK3 and PreK4; Every day we pass the preschool and he asks for his two teachers by name. He loves it and my husband and I do too. Everyone involved with the preschool gives their best and does it with love, so come join us!

We were new to the area two years ago and visited numerous preschools. I knew immediately First Pres would be a great fit for our kids. The teachers are so loving and offer a nurturing learning environment. All of the parents are very involved and make it feel like one big family. Attending First Pres has been a positive experience for both of our children and we are grateful to have found it.

My daughter just completed her first year at First Presbyterian Preschool. I can honestly say it was such a wonderful year for her to grow. I am a teacher myself and out of all the preschools I looked at, not one had what First Pres does. It is so nurturing and loving and safe. It feels like a family when you walk in and out every day, and parental involvement is so important there. We couldn't be happier and we highly recommend this wonderful preschool. Thank you Miss Diana for running such a fabulous preschool!

Having chosen FPC Preschool for our children was the first best decision we've ever made as it relates to their education and building on a foundation for life! The teachers are nurturing and really spend time ensuring every child gets the attention needed in preparation for kindergarten. We could not be happier and are looking forward to sharing many more years with the welcoming of our new baby this fall.
