Why we came back to Foundations At First
for Pre-K for our son, Instead of a public school Pre-K program.
"The reason we came back for Pre K is because we liked how much he was learning and was able to have one on one time with the teachers because of the small number of students. He’s also very shy and we felt like he needed a smaller classroom to get ready for public school. We wanted to give him a chance to be ahead of other kids his age and not be the child that was left behind. If Foundations At First offered a k-12 program I would keep him in.”
— K. Rape
If you feel your child might not be ready for an 8 hour, 5 day a week program you may want to consider returning to Foundations At First for your child’s PreK year. He/she will learned everything needed to be prepared for Kindergarten with another year of maturity and growth. An investment in a great foundation for your child’s future education is worth every penny.

A School That Allows Prayer & The Bible In The Classroom
Testimonials From Parents and Grandparents
"I would recommend this school because of the small class sizes, which allow for more one on one time. I also like that the days are shorter than most other preK programs." -- Macey Harris
"I love the one on one time that each child gets with the teacher and I love the Christian values that the teachers can freely express. It's always an uplifting environment there. I also liked the hours for Foundations At First Pre-K verses the all day schedule at public schools. She had never stayed at daycare and we felt it would have been too much for a 4 year old. We’re amazed every week how many new things she is introduced to. And she loves to share what she’s learned with us." -- Joan White
"I heard great things in the community about Foundations At First and it was all true! I like that it is a half-day program. The kids learn at a comfortable pace. I can tell that my child has learned so much since she has been enrolled and is always excited to tell me about her day." -- Brittany Rhodes
"There are many aspects of Foundations at First that we love. We love that it is a part-time program yet our daughter is still taught everything she needs to know before kindergarten. We love that the teacher to student ratio is so low. This means that our daughter gets more individualized attention that just isn’t possible in public Pre-K. We also love that it is a Montessori based program which encourages child- centered education. They also have weekly chapel time at Foundations and our daughter comes home many times singing songs about the Bible which is just precious. We love that the Bible is taught in this school. Foundations at First is a wonderful part-time Montessori based Pre-K and we are so thankful for it and the amazing, loving teachers as well.” -- Ally Rogers
