“AND WHOEVER WELCOMES A LITTLE CHILD…IN MY NAME WELCOMES ME.” MATTHEW 18:5
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN WEEKDAY PRESCHOOL is sponsored by the Family Ministries Council of First Presbyterian Church of Marietta (FPC) and is administered by a Preschool Board.
Our Goals Are To Help Every Child GrowSOCIALLY...to help children learn to make new friends and communicate effectively. EMOTIONALLY...to develop self-esteem and learn to adapt to new situations. SPIRITUALLY...to understand God's love and appreciate the beauty of His creations. ACADEMICALLY...to master the foundations of language, reading, and math. CREATIVELY...to use art as a form of expression through activities, music, and movement.
PHYSICALLY...to use movement class and playground time to enhance physical development which play a critical role in a child's learning.
Curriculum FPC Weekday Preschool has long used the play-based program, WEE Learn, as a foundation for our curriculum. Within that framework, our experienced teachers tailor their units to meet the needs and interests of their children. Through learning centers, small and large group activities, and individual instruction, teachers present developmentally appropriate content.
In addition to WEE Learn, we offer Zoo-phonics beginning in our three-year-old classes to supplement letter identification and phonetic awareness in a fun, playful way. Zoo-phonics engages the children’s senses while teaching through physical games and activities.
Class OfferingsSchool hours: 9 a.m. - 12 noon

Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
- Fred Rogers
