1st Church Preschool is an innovative early childhood program providing morning and full day preschool experiences for children ages 3 to 6 years old. Our low child to teacher ratios allow for better supervision and individualized instruction while our flexible scheduling can meet. 1st Church Preschool is housed in the First Congregational Church on the Cheshire Green.
We are an independent, not-for-profit, child-centered program-not an extension of the Church nor affiliated with its religious program. Our teachers work together as early childhood professionals to create rich, literacy-based, developmentally appropriate learning environments that promote the development of each child's social, emotional, physical, cognitive, and creative skills.
