Welcome to First School

 

First School provides a curriculum that supports the concept of an ideal pre-school environment by allowing every child freedom of choice within a structured situation without placing adult values on the child's play, responses, relationships and performances.  We strive to create impressions and form values in the First School program that will start each pre-school student toward a meaningful, productive life.
Marsha Goldberg, Director
 

 

Our unique program allows for the individuality and specific rate of growth of every student. Our teaching goal is to nourish each child by helping him/her build skills, while at the same time, allowing him/her to develop a positive self-image.  
 

 

Programs are provided which emphasize sensory experiences, visual-motor, perceptual development, rewarding self-concept experiences and social and emotional growth.

  • The First School curriculum is designed to stimulate the child's intellectual curiosity, thereby increasing his rate of development and enhancing his ability to learn. Areas of interest are implemented in the classrooms that provide each child with the opportunity to experience a wide variety of subject matter. These areas cover information and materials in activities including art, music, language arts, manipulative play, listening skills, mathematics, housekeeping, cooking, science, nature study, speech and creative dramatics.
    .

  • Sensorimotor training and daily outdoor play also are included in the program to aid in the child's muscular coordination and perceptual skill development.

 

  • Special event days featuring children's plays, excursions, guest personalities, nature outings and other activities are presented as an additional source of interest and enjoyment for the students.
