To achieve our goals and objectives, First Presbyterian Church uses Creative Curriculum.

Creative Curriculum is an age appropriate environmental curriculum which is child directed. We teach in teams of two which helps to model cooperation for children. We believe when children see adults working together that it creates a positive example for the classroom. Creating a stress free classroom with a consistent routine has proven to provide the right kind of play zone where our students can learn, explore and create. Our goal is educating children to be creative, independent, and caring individuals.
