LCCP has safe pick up and drop off procedures, daily chapel with singing and fun teaching, and a fantastic playground. And the curriculum has well prepared our five year old for kindergarten - she has good handwriting for her age, is reading simple words, and has learned how to contribute in a classroom setting. The facilities are a little dated, but the sweet environment and quality staff more than make up for it.

The staff are also so friendly and committed to the kids, and they tend to hire from within the school community for aides itself so it feels like a very close-knit family. We have always felt our kids were safe, nurtured, and thriving in this environment, and they do so much to involve families as well. I also love that they are able to do field trips to visit the retirement community across the parking lot from time to time. Overall, we could not have asked for a more loving preschool. Shout out especially to Ms Amala and Ms Anna for growing with my daughter as her teachers for multiple years!

They all either had their own kids go through FFP or have taught there for 10+ years. Everyone just seems to be one big family there.

First Foundations served as our family's first experience with preschool, and for that we are so…read moreextremely thankful. Our shy little daughter just blossomed at this school, to the extent that our friends and extended family remarked on the change in her confidence and demeanor. I'm admittedly a pretty anxious mama bear and I am still, a year later, so shocked at how seamless the adjustment to going to preschool felt for both my daughter and for myself. There were no tears from my little one when I dropped her off, but on more than one occasion she was adamant that she didn't want to leave the school when I picked her up. I could write paragraph upon paragraph, but I'll try to keep it short and sweet because I know firsthand how much energy it takes to search for that perfect fit. Here are some of the aspects that stood out to me! - The whole entire staff here is so wonderful. The director, Mrs. Wilkins, truly pours her heart into her school. She knows and loves each child and greets them by name. She also personally ran my daughter's lunch box/jacket/show and tell item down to her classroom on the more than one occasion that I completely forgot those items in a sleep deprived haze. Our daughter's teachers, Mrs. Gamoneda and Mrs. Pallota, were so kind and loving. Our kiddo can be stubborn, and she started the school year insisting that she didn't want finger paint on her hands. Mrs. G and Mrs. P worked with her, encouraging but never pushing (they even asked my husband and myself if there was any sort of alternative glue or paint she might find more tolerable), and our daughter was beaming with pride when she presented us with a finger painted keepsake a few weeks later. I said I'd keep this short, so bullet points for the rest. - All of the teachers are very qualified. - The school is clean and the teachers had the children wash their hands several times every day even in a pre-coronavirus world. - There are all sorts of fun theme days, class parties and a Christmas program. - This was my daughter's takeaway from our initial tour - two playgrounds! Here is my takeaway - two safe, age appropriate playgrounds that are fenced in. - In addition to the classroom, the children attend Chapel, Spanish and music class (we had the opportunity to observe a bit of the music class on our tour, and the kids were having so much fun). - A perfect combination of play based learning and learning skills that will be needed in kindergarten (our 4 y/o is now able to write her name but she had a lot of fun at school too) - The teachers incorporate super cool activities (a volcano, a caterpillar that turns into a butterfly, a classroom full of tents, reading Biblical stories via blacklight) into their daily lesson plans. - The school is safety minded. This was huge for me. - If you have a baby on your hip, everyone will help you. :) There is a wonderful drop off program, actually, in which teachers are in charge of getting kids from your car. It's very safe and coordinated well. - The school has a bridge program and a kindergarten program. This is actually how I learned about First Foundations. It's seriously the best school, and the only thing I would ever change about it is that I wish our kids could attend for a couple more years.

They instruct their classes with so much grace. They take time to work with and help students who need extra help. They will be moving into their new permanent school building in July 2020 and I'm so excited to have both my kids attending in the fall!

Our son spent his preschool years there and came home everyday singing about Jesus and love. In January a new pastor took over the church and decided he did not like the way things were going. He immediately shut down the Shepard House which was a food pantry where the community could come and be blessed with food and supplies. He then fired a teacher who was not the same religion as him. Lastly he shut down the wonderful Christian preschool with no notice to the staff or families. This put hundreds of families in a bad place with no childcare lined up and close to 30 teachers and staff with no jobs. This program was warm, loving, inclusive, friendly and fun.
