First Presbyterian Church Child Care

Our main objective is to make learning fun! If a child believes this, the thirst for knowledge never ends. The toddler class (ages 18 to 36 months) learns about farm animals, zoo animals, the family, and holidays for the first four months of the school year. This is transition time for the toddlers and a time for them to learn to play together, share, listen to stories, etc. Beginning in January, toddlers are introduced to colors, numbers, and shapes. The preschool class (ages 4 and 5) learn numbers, colors, and nursery rhymes. We touch on the alphabet, introducing to 3 letters per month. Periodically, we have a special visitor or activity to go along with a letter. For example, during “B” week, we have a “BEAR Party.” In “D” week, a DENTIST may come to tell us how to care for our teeth; “E” week, an optometrist may come to tell us how to take care of our EYES; “F” week, the FIRE truck comes, and “G” week a doctor may come and tel us about GERMS.
