At First Assembly Preschool, We believe the early childhood years are critical to the development of a well-adjusted person.
Therefore, our preschool staff strives to create an environment for the nurturing of the individual.
Our program is designed to help the individual develop spiritually, socially, physically and intellectually.
We honor God, as Creator, and seek to instill a healthy God-concept in the children; i.e., God loves them and cares for them.
Our Mission is every child is created in the likeness of God and is precious in His sight.
Each is a unique and special person who progresses at his/her own rate of growth.
First Assembly Preschool provides a balanced, Christ-centered educational program to enhance the development of spiritual, intellectual, social, emotional and physical growth during the early childhood years.
