First Steps Preschool

First Steps Preschool

The First Steps Preschool at First United Methodist Church offers a loving, caring environment for children age six weeks through pre-kindergarten. First Steps provides lower child-teacher ratios and room capacities than required by Florida Statutes. Recognized as a Gold Seal Quality Care Center by the Florida Department of Children and Families, First Steps also received the highest rating possible by the United Methodist Association of Preschools (UMAP). For the safety of our children, we adhere to the Child and Youth Protection Policy of First United Methodist Church of Lakeland.
