First Baptist Smithfield Preschool
ABOUT First Baptist Smithfield Preschool
Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. -Proverbs 22:6
At FBS Preschool, our mission is to provide a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where children can grow in their faith, develop a love of learning, and build meaningful relationships with others. We believe that each child is uniquely created by God and deserves to feel loved, valued, and supported as they learn and explore the world around them.
Our program serves children ages 2 through 5 and offers developmentally appropriate, hands-on learning experiences that encourage social, emotional, intellectual, physical, and spiritual growth. Through engaging themes, purposeful play, and age-appropriate activities, children are given opportunities to discover, create, problem-solve, and develop important kindergarten readiness skills.
Each day includes a balance of structured learning and child-led exploration, with routines that help children feel safe, confident, and secure. Activities may include art, literacy, math, science, music, dramatic play, sensory experiences, outdoor play, and Bible lessons that introduce God's love and truth in meaningful ways.
At FBS Preschool, we partner with families to create a strong foundation for lifelong learning and faith. Our goal is for every child to leave our program feeling loved by God, confident in their abilities, excited to learn, and prepared for the next step in their educational journey as they continue to Faith, Learn, and Grow.
