First Presbyterian Preschool Program (First Presbyterian Preschool of Lake Forest) is a church-based preschool offering four class levels for children roughly 2.5 through 5 years old, with extended-day enrichment options and a play-based curriculum.
First Presbyterian Preschool Program operates on the campus of First Presbyterian Church of Lake Forest and provides part‑time preschool classes for children beginning as young as 2.5 years through a pre‑kindergarten level. The school offers four class pathways organised by age and development.
