First Presbyterian Early Childhood Education Center adheres to a play-based, developmentally appropriate learning environment for our students. We believe play is the hard work of a child and aim to provide them with meaningful experiences. The staff at First Presbyterian Early Childhood Education Center is committed to our calling and proud to offer these learning practices in a loving and caring Christian environment.
We serve children ages six months of age (by September 1st) up to four-years old. Our class days are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Our school year begins in September and ends the middle of May.
Our curriculum is focused on the standards set forth by the National Association for the Education of Young Children and the Little Texans Big Futures Early Learning Guide for children ages 0-3 years old and the Texas Prekindergarten Guidelines for 4-year-old children. We pride ourselves on providing a hands-on learning environment with an emphasis on oral language and vocabulary development, pre-reading literacy skills, fine and gross motor skills, social skills, math, and science. Our purpose is to partner with families to develop and foster within each child's heart a lifelong love of learning.
For the 2022-23 year, monthly tuition is $220 per child per month. We collect tuition through monthly withdraws by ACH (tuition is automatically taken from an account selected by you on a certain day each month). If you would like to pay tuition for the entire year or by semester (September-December and January-April), you can pay by check or cash.
A non-refundable registration fee of $100 per child will be charged at the time of registration and must be paid online.
A $50 supply fee per semester (September and January) per child will be paid at the beginning of each semester or at registration if enrolling after the semester has started.
Registration opens at 12:01 am on the date listed and will be open for 48 hours. Links will be coming soon.
