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 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.
Curriculum
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.
