"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up."
Deuteronomy 6:5-7 NIV

Our Purpose

The Purpose of First Friends Preschool is to provide care, education and developmental opportunities for children so that they may achieve their God given potential spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally and socially.

 

 

Objectives, in addition to all of the Oklahoma Department of Education Preschool Objectives listed in our handbook:

  • To effectively communicate God’s love for each child and their family
  • To help the church have a ministry to families.
  • Offer our community an early childhood program of the highest standards
  • Provide a safe, secure and loving environment to educate children and support families in the important task of raising children
  • Provide each child with a quality Christian experience that will meet his/her individual needs
  • Help children in the interactive process of learning, incorporating a spirit of cooperation and developing a positive attitude toward education
  •  

Our Curriculum

We are using two curriculums together, along with other ideas.
A Beka Curriculum. . .
is a Christian based curriculum of preschool Chapel lessons and colorful preschool workbooks for numbers, letters and cutting and pasting.
Wee Learn Curriculum. . .
is an age appropriate, developmentally based curriculum that provides a teaching theme for each week. Around the topics, teachers organize Bible stories and verses, hands-on activities, play and other developmental learning opportunities.

 

Our Facilities

Our Preschool is located in the four and five year old Sunday School rooms of our preschool wing, with a restroom between the two rooms.  Our rooms are arranged into play-learning centers, where children can make choices for individual and small group activities, and we have large colorful rugs for circle time in the classrooms. We use the Heritage Room for our Chapel time. We have an outdoor playground in an enclosed, shaded area, with safe, modern equipment. We also have a large room that we can go to for indoor large muscle play, when needed.
Our Preschool wing is locked during First Friends Preschool hours for safety and education purposes.
