At First School we have developed an environment where your child is an independent learner utilizing the first years of life when vital learning occurs at it's best and fullest. Reading is the key to independent learning and therefore we have developed a program that guides your child through steps enabling him or her to become an early reader.
Children who learn to read before elementary school are better learners reading at their own individual pace and at First School we provide your child with that opportunity. Our classes are structured to allow the individual child to progress at his/her own rate and level and each of our classes includes an early education curriculum that develops social skills side by side with his/her academic knowledge.

My name is Vy Tran and I came from Vietnam. I have lived here over 14 years with my little family. I graduated at Parkland College with AAS Degree in Child Development in December of 2009.

The Infant Teacher has a caring, respectful response to the infants needs, both physical and psychological to conveys the message of unconditional love and acceptance. In addition to art and sensory activities, infants are able to interact with teachers who sing and use baby signs. The infant teachers also use an assessment tool that is designed to provide a means for establishing a daily program for the infants in their care.

I've been sending my children to First School since January 2013. I put a lot of research into which child care facility I wanted my children to attend. I loved First School for many reasons. The top ones were the caring and friendly environment and the amount of safety precautions the have in place to keep our children free of harm. Upon entering the building, you scan your thumbprint. If you are not authorized to pick up a child, you do not enter the building. I love that considering all the creeps (for lack of better terms) that are in this world today.
