Families First has 3 levels of programming- We start out with grown-up partners in the classroom and gradually introduce separation and independence. At 2.5 years old, children enter a classroom independently for a 3-hour drop-off class.

All of our Practically Preschool classes follow a pattern, so that children feel comfortable in the classroom, knowing what to expect. Children start out with free play with some selected toys, welcome songs where children are greeted by name, stories, art projects, letter recognition, counting games/songs, snack or lunch, and each class ends with goodbye songs to reinforce the connections and recognizing individual children.

Programs: We have flexibility and options for 1,2,3 and 5 days a week of instruction, depending on age.

Ages: 1-4 years

Costs: $455-$6,120
