The preschool ministry is a special place for children birth to pre-k.  We are thankful for the opportunity to help preschoolers learn about the love of Jesus during these formative years.  First Baptist Church believes each child is a special gift from God and looks forward to watching these kids grow in Christ through Sunday school, music, missions, and various other activities throughout the year.

Programs are offered each Sunday morning and Wednesday night along with a variety of special events throughout the year.

What We Do

 

First Friends Preschool, a ministry of First Baptist Church, is a Mother’s Day Out held two days a week for ages 6 weeks through Pre-K.

 

Our program hours are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

 

Mother’s Day Out

Mother’s Day Out for ages 6 weeks to 2 years, is a program designed to provide parents with a regular block of time that is separate from their children to meet personal and family needs. This Christian environment provides children opportunities to learn social, verbal, and language skills as well as work on gross and fine motor skills. Children are taught a foundation of recognition for letters, numbers, shapes, colors, etc., which translate to preschool. We utilize a curriculum called ABC Jesus Loves Me to accomplish these goals.

 

Preschool

Our Preschool program, for ages 3 years to 5 years, strives to enrich the spiritual, academic, physical, emotional, and social development of children. Our purpose is to create an environment in which each child learns and develops to the best of his/her ability through a high quality curriculum and various programs. As a ministry of First Baptist Church, our goal is to provide activities and guidance as children learn about the love of Jesus. Services offered include, but are not limited to:

 

• Spanish
• More integrated technology
• Increased educational concepts encompassing phonics, sight words, rhyming words, beginning math skills and review of basic concepts in a center-type learning environment.
• Flashcard fun and tracing packets sent home monthly for further practice
• Academic assessments at the beginning and end of each year.
