The Pre-School at First Presbyterian
Since 1966, the church has run a Nursery School whose purpose
is to provide opportunities for the development of physical and emotional growth of preschool age children. It was designed
to be a community service and no religious curriculum is taught. Primary emphasis is furthering brotherhood, cooperation,
becoming a good neighbor and teaching children to get along with each other.
The school began modestly in the home of one of the members, twice a week with four teachers. Soon the enrollment grew large enough to move to the basement of the sanctuary, where they utilized two rooms and had an enrollment of 35 children. Today the school occupies five rooms with an enrollment of around 130 children and 12 teachers who hold 7 classes a week. The school is one of the few that conduct hearing, speech and eye exams.
