First Discoveries Christian Preschool

Our Story

We started this amazing journey in 2007! Our dream was to put together a unique blend of the best of the best approaches for each area of your child's development. Now 13 years later and after hundreds of students blessed by our teachers, we can say that our careful planning helps ensure that our daily schedule offers the children a variety of opportunities to assimilate knowledge and skills at their individual level of development through the effective use of time and materials, learning through play and structured activities, group and individual play according to their needs and interests.

We successfully create an atmosphere of love and harmony conducive to developing social skills. Christian values and prayer form an important and consistent part of our day. The children have daily opportunities that foster and develop their spiritual, social and emotional growth through Bible teachings, development of friendships, self regulation skills, empathy, and the ability to resolve conflict in positive ways. Daily Bible classes guide children as they develop their character and social skills.

Children are natural scientists—they have an “inborn sense of wonder”. We support this natural curiosity through observation, the use of simple tools, the opportunity to try their ideas, and the use of basic scientific terminology and vocabulary. We support children’s expression of and engagement in art, music, dance and drama; and encourage make believe play. Our curriculum encourages your child to use planning skills, creativity, and imagination.

Our award winning approach, has been developed to provide the best environment for learning for the whole child. We have partnered in our commitment to excellence with Valley Christian Schools. VCS's Exemplary Preschool Scholar Award, valued at $1,000, is awarded to our Pre-Kinder graduates at graduation. Early Music Awareness Classes are provided to the children at no extra charge twice a month. They learn about music notes, rhythm and coordination, and have a blast with different instruments. We are so blessed to have a wonderful music teacher come every other week to our school to share her passion for music with our little ones. Additionally, we have partnered with a very fun reading class from Willow Glen Middle School and our 6th & 7th grade - Reading Buddies come to read to our students every other week. Both teenagers and preschoolers love these special days!
