About Our Programs

Starting with our two's program, students are gradually introduced to new experiences and information through our unique early childhood education. Each year after, skills are reviewed, reinforced, and expanded upon, so there is a natural progression from a focus on social, sensory, and language skills to more advanced topics. This culminates in kindergarten and first-grade preparation, focusing on literacy, math, science, critical thinking, physical development, and creativity.

These six areas of learning are dynamic, meaning that the way in which we present them changes as the children in our classes change. First School has the unique ability to allow each age level an individual teacher who creates lesson plans pulling from these areas of learning simultaneously. We do not receive lessons from a corporate office; our teachers have the freedom and flexibility to think creatively and set challenging goals for our preschool and kindergarten programs.
