Our Philosophy & Mission​

We believe childhood is sacred. Rooted in God's love, we nurture curiosity, creativity, and compassion through meaningful relationships, purposeful play, and thoughtfully prepared environments. We strive to cultivate confident, capable learners who experience the joy of discovery while growing in faith, kindness and wonder.​

At First Presbyterian Weekday School children will feel safe, known, and deeply valued. They will develop confidence and independence while building meaningful relationships. Children will learn to solve problems respectfully and explore God's world with curiosity as they develop a lifelong love of learning. Children will strengthen communication and self-expression while learning to care for themselves, others and their environment. ​​​​
