The First Presbyterian Playschool began in 1971 and operates today as a licensed half-day program for two through four year olds. Its purpose is to provide an opportunity for preschool children in this Church and community to participate in a structured educational program with the companionship of their peers in an environment scaled to their needs under trained supervision. The Playschool meets primarily in the Education Building, but also makes use of the gymnasium (Gym-Ed Building) and playground for recreation during the day.
There are six permanent teachers. All teachers have degrees in early childhood education and many years of experience in the classroom. In addition, teachers attend eighteen to twenty-one hours of workshops yearly. All teachers are certified in CPR and First Aid.
