Welcome to Kids First Early Learning Academy

Kids First Early Learning Academy is a licensed private preschool that began in 2005. Our program is developed from a sincere love for children and the desire to aid in their academic development. Our mission is to provide a developmental program of activities and experiences through which children can learn and grow in a happy, positive atmosphere. We make each learning activity fun and game-like, challenging but not frustrating, and a multi-sensory experience. We recognize that preschool is vital in laying the foundation for all future learning. Our program will build academic and social skills, as well as feelings of accomplishment and confidence.

Parent Testimonials

"The moment I walked into Kids First I knew this was the preschool for my son, Jack. He had never gone to daycare or been left with anyone outside of our home for any length of time, so I wanted a friendly preschool, nurturing, creative, inspiring, and fun. Kids First not only lived up to my high expectations but has far exceeded my hopes. Everything Kids First does is with the happiness and education of our kids in mind. They learn letters, shapes, and words, experience sign language, Spanish, and music, enjoy so many events around different holidays, have visits from Wonders of Wildlife and firefighters and do the most amazing arts and crafts. Ultimately, what sets Kids First apart is the people. Jack speaks not only of the teachers in his classroom, but also of his happy experiences with Leah, the Director, and the teachers in other classes. Kids First is a family and they put the kids first in everything. I couldn’t recommend this preschool more highly."
