Developing Little Minds
Our preschool program focuses on the developmental needs of students by providing a Christian-based curriculum that helps develop language, reading, and motor skills in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment. However, it is not all work and no play, our preschool program ensures students also learn and develop through playing and exploring the world around them.

Our Curriculum
Abeka Curriculum
At First Place Academy, we love the Abeka curriculum. Starting children at a young age under Abeka has proven to develop students into strong readers and critical thinkers. In our preschool program, our students begin learning the foundations of phonics, cursive writing, arithmetic, and much more! More importantly, the Abeka Bible classes teach children that they are valued and loved by a Creator that has designed them for a purpose.
Daily Routine
Morning Program & Activities
Our Preschool students begin their day with some activity time in our gymnasium. A breakfast snack is provided after gym time.
The core academic learning is done as part of our morning program (9:00am – 12:00pm). Each day lessons begin with a Bible lesson much like the rest of our school. Outside time is set throughout the day, before and after lunch, for students to explore and play. In the classroom preschool students practice their language, phonics, and numbers skills and are then led to their centers to learn through play and experimentation.
Activity Time
Students start their day off with activity and play in our school gymnasium. Throughout their morning program, their learning is also broken up by time outside in order to help kids stay focused and engaged.
Lunch
Lunch is served at 12:00. Students may bring in a ready to eat packed lunch or purchase lunch from our school menu. For lunch, students sit together, talk amongst themselves with their teacher, and eat. After lunch, students begin getting ready for nap/rest time.
Snack and Dismissal
As students begin waking up from their nap/rest time, they are given some snack time before dismissal. Students are also able to free play and explore while waiting for parent pick-up.
Learning Centers/Free Play
Our students’ days are designed so that they can expect the same structure every day, thus creating a stable and secure environment for our kids. After their main morning program, our K3 and K4 students are able to free play and explore through various centers and stations that intrigue their curious minds.
