Finding the right community for your child.
Choosing a school is about more than finding a place for your child to learn. It is about finding a community where your child will be known, where their questions are welcomed, and where they can grow with confidence.

At First Pres, we invite families to come see our school, experience our classrooms, meet our teachers, and begin getting to know our community.
Whether your child is just beginning preschool or continuing their journey through elementary and middle school, we would love to help you discover whether First Pres feels like the right fit for your family.
A simple path from curiosity to community.
You don't have to figure everything out at once. We'll walk with you through each step.
Come See First Pres
The best way to understand First Pres is to experience it for yourself.
During a tour, you'll have the opportunity to explore our indoor and outdoor learning spaces, see how children learn through play and inquiry, and ask questions about our approach, programs, and community.
We encourage families to bring their child along whenever possible. We want your child to have a chance to experience First Pres, too.
Schedule a tour →Bring Your Family
Choosing a school is a family decision—and your child's experience matters.
As you visit, notice what your child is drawn to. Watch how they interact with the environment. Listen to the questions they ask. See how our teachers welcome children and support their curiosity.
We want your visit to give you a genuine sense of what everyday life at First Pres feels like.
Ask About a Trial Day
Sometimes the best way to know is to experience it.
If you're considering First Pres for your child, ask us about the possibility of a trial day. A trial day can give your child an opportunity to experience the classroom environment, meet teachers and classmates, and begin getting a feel for the rhythms of the school day.
Trial-day availability and details vary by program. When you schedule your tour, simply let us know that you'd like to learn more.

You're not on your own after enrollment.
We'll help your family understand what comes next, from completing required paperwork to preparing for your child's first days at First Pres.
As your child settles in, you'll begin to see the relationships, routines, questions, discoveries, and experiences that make up life at First Pres.
Families are an important part of our community, and we value the partnership between home and school.
There is no need to have all the answers before you visit.
Choosing a school can bring a lot of questions. What will my child's day look like? How will they be supported? Will they feel known? Will this community be a good fit for our family?
That's what the visit is for.
Come walk through our classrooms. Spend time in our outdoor spaces. Ask your questions. Bring your child. Get a feel for our community.
