First Baptist Kindergarten, a private preschool founded in 1952,
serves 225 children ages two through five. The program is
accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young
Children (NAEYC) and is licensed by the State of South Carolina. In
1989 the teaching staff began their study of the Reggio Approach,
an educational philosophy which originated in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
Integration of our interpretation of this philosophy guides the
learning process. Children are perceived as competent thinkers who
may investigate possibilities with expertise. The classroom
environment is established as a laboratory setting created to
encourage each child's creative exploration. The foundational
strength of the school encompasses the relationships built with
each child and his family. Parents are partners in the learning
process as they work together creating learning experiences with
the teaching staff and the children. As each child develops
strategies for research of his ideas, the child comes to know
himself and his own beautiful giftedness.
