The educational goal of the First Christian Preschool is to develop the whole child, soul, body and mind, through the combination of religious training with vigorous intellectual growth. The First Christian Preschool of Wilton Manors offers children the opportunity to live and work in a Christian Community. Here Children are encouraged to exercise their free will through Christian Guidance. Our philosophy is based on respect for all people, especially children.

We strive to create an environment where we recognize the uniqueness of each individual and value each person’s life as a gift and blessing. We are committed to provide a quality child development program where the children feel safe and loved. Children learn best and develop their fullest potential through active participation in a wide variety of activities, which take place in a safe, secure, creative and nurturing environment.

We want to instill in each child a feeling of competence, autonomy, and a positive self-concept on their road to growth, independence, and self-autonomy. Activities for progression includes quiet times and meditation on teachings, relaxation, mealtime, outdoors, as well as free-play, art, naturalistic integration, leadership, and academics.

Children develop confidence and independence and a feeling of success. Understanding that independence begins with educational scaffolding before a child explores and learns in confidence, parents, teachers and staff work together to make preschool a positive learning experience for each child. We are committed to supporting the family unit and recognize the uniqueness of each families’ lifestyle and cultural heritage. We strive to support parents and encourage their involvement with open and honest communication.

First Christian Preschool Provides the opportunity for students to grow in the knowledge and appreciation of their personal abilities and talents; to value themselves as well as people in our global community; and to integrate daily principles learned.
