First Baptist Preschool

& Kindergarten

Purpose

Our purpose at First Baptist Preschool and Kindergarten is to cultivate a nurturing

environment where each child experiences God’s love while growing academically, socially, and spiritually. We celebrate each child’s unique gifts and support his/her development at his/her own pace, laying a strong foundation for a lifelong love of the Lord and learning. 

Curriculum

We are committed to providing a developmentally appropriate curriculum that supports the growth and learning of every child. We recognize that each child is a unique individual who develops at his/her own pace, and our curriculum reflects that understanding.

 

  • All age groups use the Christ-centered curriculum The Gospel Project by Lifeway.
  • Our music curriculum consists of a variety of resources, including Growing in Grace, Classroom Music for Little Mozarts, and MusicPlay.
  • Kindergarten uses Bridge to Reading and Phonemic Awareness by Heggerty; enVision Mathematics by Savvas Learning Company; and Kindergarten Programs by Harcourt Math
  • K-4 uses Frog Street Pre-K for reading and mathematics; Heggerty Pre-Kindergarten for phonemic awareness; and Handwriting Without Tears (HWT)
  • K-3 uses Frog Street Threes for reading and mathematics and Handwriting Without Tears (HWT)


Music

Students attend music class two times a week. Our music teacher teaches Christian songs,

seasonal songs, fun thematic songs, songs that align with academic concepts, while also exploring musical concepts. Children enjoy opportunities to move to music, express themselves through rhythm and dance, and explore rhythm instruments in a hands-on environment.

Purpose

Our purpose at First Baptist Preschool and Kindergarten is to provide a caring environment for your preschool or kindergarten child to experience God's love while pursuing specific social, academic and spiritual goals. It is our desire that each child develops at his own pace and be appreciated for his own unique gifts. We work to provide a strong foundation that will encourage a life-long love of learning and later success in school.

  • Kindergarten uses the Scott Foresman Language Arts curriculum, The Wright Skills (phonics) and the Harcourt Math curriculum. 
  • K-4 uses Frog Street Pre-K
  • K-3 uses Frog Street Threes

Music

Each child attends music class two times a week. Our music teacher provides Christian,

curriculum-related, fun through seasonal songs and activities. The children are exposed to many musical concepts.

"...we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done."

Psalm 78:4
