Mission
Children First provides developmentally appropriate learning experiences that teach each child how to learn in a loving, safe, Christian environment.
We are proud of our program and hope you feel it will meet the needs of your precious little one. Thank you for considering Children First for your child.
Philosophy
Our PreK program offers a stimulating curriculum in a loving, caring Christian environment. Children learn through “hands-on” activities in which they mature and develop at their own pace.
We inspire all aspects of a child’s development: cognitive, social, emotional, physical and spiritual. We feel that we are partners with parents. Our goal is to fulfill each child’s potential. It is our hope that every child experiences the fun and joy of learning.
Goals
The measure of our success is through your child. Upon completion of our program, your child should leave with positive feelings about him/herself and learning.
Furthermore, your child should be ready and eager to enter elementary school. This is an important decision you are making for your child. If we can help by answering additional questions, don’t hesitate to call or email. We look forward to learning with you and your child. 706-635-2555 or email ellijayfirstchildren@gmail.com
