The centre emphasizes play-based learning, outdoor classroom time, and continuity of care with primary teachers and small group ratios.
First Presbyterian Early Childhood Center is run by First Presbyterian Church as a community service mission and provides early care and education for children from three months to six years. Enrollment is open to families of all backgrounds and the centre operates a waitlist for openings.
The program uses a play-based approach and integrates elements of the California Teaching Pyramid, PITC, the Outdoor Classroom model, and the California Foundations and Early Learning Framework to support children’s development and school readiness.
The centre includes multiple indoor rooms and several outdoor yards, including an outdoor classroom used regularly during the preschool day. Classrooms are organized for small-group care with a primary-caregiver model intended to support long-term relationships between teachers and children.
The program includes multiple infant and toddler rooms and several yards designed for very young children; it uses low child-to-teacher ratios, a primary-teacher assignment, and continuity-of-care so teachers and a consistent group of children move together through rooms.
The preschool is organized into mixed-age groups and emphasizes outdoor classroom time and play-based learning; the program uses ongoing observation to support children’s readiness for primary school and is informed by the CA Teaching Pyramid, PITC, Outdoor Classroom, and California Early Learning Framework.
