FIRST BAPTIST PRESCHOOL-BOERNE INFORMATION

First Baptist Preschool-Boerne offers a creative Christian educational program for children ages 1-5. We have a Transitional Prekindergarten 4-5 year old program. We try to enrich your child's development through the guidance and instruction of curriculum by qualified and certified teachers with the love of Jesus.

Our Preschool has 28 teachers, one third of which are certified and work with our 4 year olds in our Pre-K to get them ready for kindergarten. The rest of our teachers have Preschool teaching experience. We opened in 1987. All children are involved in our developmental program, which combines free play and social interaction with planned learning time. Our 1 yr. olds enjoy stories, art, and social interaction. Our 2 year olds concentrate on colors, shapes, numbers, art activities, music, & stories. Our 3 year olds begin working with letters and phonic sounds. They also enjoy music, outdoor play, art, free play in centers, Bible Stories, and listening story centers. Our 4-5's PRE K, our readiness program for kindergarten, consists of reading using phonics and IPAD games, math, art, music, manipulative, and physical activities. Children play in centers with their friends, learn to write their names & alphabet, and learn beginning Spanish and Sight words for Kindergarten. Some of our field trips are the zoo, Enchanted Springs, Gymnastics, and Sea World. The Pre-K offers optional after school Spanish & Computer classes.

3. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD SICK! Running a fever classifies your child as sick. Some children have allergies, but fever, diarrhea, vomiting, or green noses, are not acceptable.

4. Please LABEL everything! Please do not send toys or dolls that may get lost or broken. Please send your child's lunch. Drinks must be in a thermos with a bendable STRAW OR SPOUT TOP to avoid spilling, or send a DISPOSABLE DRINK. CAMELBAK .75L Water bottle is best for Pre K classes-sold on Amazon or in stores. Please do not send carbonated drinks in any thermos. Please do not send RED drinks. Finger foods only please. NO PEANUT FOOD-due to allergies. Please send an extra set of clothes.
