First Church Preschool

My daughter has been enrolled in the summer program. We have been so happy with the program and all the teachers. My daughter has some extra health challenges and First Church welcomed her with open arms and worked with us to make sure my daughter had the full camp experience. She loved going to camp and was so sad to get to the last day. We are so grateful to the entire staff. I have always heard great things about this program and it lived up to the compliments!

We love this camp! My son is 3 years old and has never been to camp or even been to an every day program - so I was a little nervous sending him. It's an AMAZING camp. He's having so much fun - he evens asks to stay for longer days and have lunch. The teachers are so kind and patient and do lots of activities - outside play, sprinklers, arts and crafts, snacks, stories and songs. They even have theme days - ice cream truck, bouncy castle, mud day, teddy bear day, etc.
I feel very comfortable when he's in camp and am not worried about him at all. We will definitely come again next year - we are having a wonderful time. You can tell administration works very hard to make for a great experience. Thank you so much!! Read more >

I love First Church Preschool for many reasons. The school whole-heartedly stands up to its motto - "learning through caring - for ourselves, each other and our earth." Two of our children (and soon our third) have attended the school, and I have been very impressed with the growth and development the school has fostered in both of our children. My daughter comes home genuinely excited to tell me what she has done that day, and as a parent, it is a joy to witness. The Director, Administrative Assistant, teachers and staff are all top notch. I give my highest recommendation. Read more >

First Church Pre School has been amazing for our family. We moved to the area in September and are so happy that out of all the preschools we looked into, we chose First Church. School had already begun when our daughter seamlessly integrated into her class in The Rainbow Door. The teachers and staff made everything easy and our daughter was instantly happy and felt so welcomed on her first day. Since then, she has blossomed, the teacher's approach to learning is hands-on, the children investigate, create and think out of the box. Every day our daughter comes home excited to share what she has learned. On top of all the wonderful learning, the children have additional Yoga, Music, Spanish and Science classes. There is always a new exciting learning experience including animal visits and field trips to Binney Park. Our daughter will surely miss First Church Pre School when she... Read more >

I’ve found a diverse community at First Church. Not only has my daughter made life long friendships, I feel I have made great friendships too. The Rainbow door in particular has been the best for my daughter who will be starting K in the fall . The constant feed back of the teachers and their continuous effort has really helped my daughter blossom and be fully prepared for K. We will cherish our pre school years forever ! Read more >

We love First Church Preschool! My son had a great year here in their pre-k program, after transferring from another school. I loved the teachers, the parents, and the atmosphere they created. So We decided to send our younger son there as well. This is his second year and he is loving it and doing so well. The natures clsssroom is the best! I love how much they are outside and not swinging but using their hands and imaginations to dig and build and play. He also loves their science program (rad lab), learning Spanish words, doing yoga, the many craft projects, and we all love the flexibility to add on hours when needed. I would highly recommend Firsr Church to anyone looking for a nurturing and creative place to send your child. The staff is great and the families are lovely. You will feel right at home!

First Church Preschool has been exactly what I believe preschool should be - warm, accepting and a place where young children can explore their independence and nurture their curiosity for the world outside of home. The staff has been exceptional. They are truly focused on the families and making this the best experience for everyone. Darla and Melanie go out of their ways to make sure everyone’s needs and desires are met and they truly care about each and every one of the FCP children. We have been a part of the FCP community for 5 years with my youngest graduating this spring, I will genuinely miss everyone in this loving and supportive community. Thank you, FCP for helping to build a solid foundation for my childrens’ love of school! Read more >

I love First Church Preschool because it has been a very warm and nurturing environment for my daughter. She has not only learned to socialize and interact with others but has also learned so much about the world around her. The teachers make such an effort to find learning opportunities for the kids. The school staff is always so helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend First Church Preschool. Read more >

First Church Preschool has been a wonderful resource for my son, Adam! He loves the after school program where he can unwind after his school day but also engage with his classmates and socialize. Darla is warm, nurturing and highly interactive with the kids! It's a one of a kind program where I can see he's flourished socially and really come out of his shell. The administrators are responsive and flexible and I can't wait to re-enroll him in their Summer/Fall programs. Read more >

I wanted to share with you the feedback on the 2s program as it’s the first year that we’ve been part of it. The curriculum developed by the teachers was absolutely above and beyond my expectations! It’s impressive how much my son has learned and grown thanks to the activities that Mrs. I and Mrs. Jackson have developed. I was so impressed that they had such diverse and rich projects planned every single day for children and ready to start right at drop off time, fully focused on the children. He can count, knows tons of songs that class teachers taught him, plays brilliantly with his peers, developed great social skills, knows colors, shapes and patterns, weather patterns, how plants grow and so much more that I would not expect from a 2 - 3 year old, all thanks to his teachers!
My son is not very easy in terms of separation from me, but both Mrs. I and Mrs. Jackson have... Read more >
