The mission of First Steps Preschool and Enrichment is to provide a loving, warm environment for the care, learning and spiritual guidance of young children and to create a meaningful time for parents of these young children. First Steps Preschool and Enrichment also serves as a means of evangelism for First Christian Church and provides a vehicle for volunteerism for First Christian Church members.
Our goals at First Steps are based upon the verse, “And the child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom, and the favor of God was upon him.” Luke 2:40
1. “Who am I?”
We help your child feel he is a very worthwhile, unique, and competent individual – respected, accepted, and loved.
2. “Who are you?”
We help your child discover that adults (other than his parents) are gentle, helpful, and loving people. We help him discover he can enjoy being a group member, contributing to the group and forming friendships.
3. “What about the World?”
We help your child discover school is another place besides his home, where he can feel cared for, protected, and secure. Your child has the opportunity to discover the world around through first hand investigation, studying nature and special seasons.
