Early Childhood Education Center
Empowering children to flourish in mind, body and spirit.
First Presbyterian Early Childhood Education Center adheres to a play-based, developmentally appropriate learning environment for our students. We serve children ages six months of age (by September 1st) up to four-years old. Our school year begins in September and ends in the middle of May. 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.
