Cornerstone Preschool
A Weekday Ministry of FBC
Cornerstone Preschool is a ministry of the First Baptist Church to teach our children and their families how to love God, love people, and make disciples of Jesus from all generations. We provide physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual development for children ages one through five in a safe, Christian environment. We use Bible-based curriculum to teach children about God and His world as they participate in art, home-living, blocks, puzzles, books, nature, outdoor play, music and Bible story group time, using age-appropriate learning activities that meet the needs of the whole child.

Our Philosophy and Curriculum
Cornerstone Preschool uses the Wee-Learn curriculum, which focuses equally on physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual development. Wee-Learn organizes individual, small-group, and large-group activities around the themes of God, Jesus, the Bible, the church, self, others and the natural world in order to build a foundation for life.
OBJECTIVES
-
To develop a wholesome attitude toward work, play, people, property, learning, and self.

PHILOSOPHY
Our Preschool’s goal is to help children reach their maximum potential and learn to work and relate with others. Children are accepted in their current state of development. They are helped to grow within their spiritual, physical, mental, social and emotional potential. Each child is encouraged in our preschool to develop a creative and inquiring mind, good relationships with others, and a loving awareness of God. Our 1s and 2s are developing language, pre-reading, pre-writing, and other foundational skills. Our 3s are developing language, reading, writing, and math skills. Our 4s and 5s are developing those things and kindergarten or first grade readiness skills.

Find Out More / Set Up a Visit
Our Preschool has its own entrance for drop-off and pick-up. However, if you want to visit our preschool, you will need to enter from the inside of the building. Park on the Post Office side of the building, enter through the covered entrance, and take the elevator to "3". There is a door and doorbell in front of you. If you have made an appointment, they will be ready for you when you ring!
We strongly encourage you to pick up a registration packet from the church office and save yourself some printing! But if you are missing a form, you can download it here.
