Early Childhood Education

Early childhood experiences based on Christian faith provide a strong foundation in a child's life.  In First Immanuel's Early Childhood Education Programs, Jesus is a daily presence in our school day. This provides support for growth in a child's emotional, social, intellectual, physical, and spiritual development, and is the basis for strong Christian character.

 

Our Early Childhood Educational offerings include programs for children age 2 through age 4.  The program's classrooms are designed with young children in mind so that each child has a special cubby area, and there are private bathrooms & changing table within the classrooms for 2K, private bathroom for 3K and the 4K classrooms all have easy to access to full bathrooms.
