Preschool
FPCA Preschool
First Presbyterian Church offers a morning preschool program for children aged 2 through 5, September through May. Our teachers and support staff are dedicated to providing a multifaceted learning environment, so that each child may grow not only educationally, but also spiritually, socially, physically, and emotionally. We want our preschooler to experience Christian principles in action. It is our goal to create for each child a desire for wonder, a love of learning, and creative experiences.

Creative Movement & Music
We have a creative movement/music program integrated into our preschool curriculum. Each class takes part in the program several times a week. This program provides the children with creative movement activities that incorporate shape and number recognition, yoga, animal movements, bean bags, etc. The music program introduces children to hand bells, creating new songs for different units, movement with music, rhythm sticks and musical instruments. Creative movement helps to enhance learning.
Parents Morning Out & Lunch Bunch
We also offer Lunch Bunch. This program does not require pre-registration. Please come a few minutes early the first time you drop off your child, so you can complete some necessary paperwork.
Lunch Bunch – Tuesday, Thursday & Friday
11:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. ($4 per child, per day)
Your child will need to BRING A LUNCH. Please DO NOT pack peanut butter in your child’s lunch. We’re sorry for the inconvenience, but a few children have such severe peanut allergies that it is not safe even for others to bring peanut butter in their lunches.
Our Parents' Morning Out program is currently not available but we hope it will return soon.
