Trained, caring leaders minister to the youngest members of the First Baptist family by caring for infants during all Sunday morning services. Teachers interact with infants in loving, caring ways so that babies develop the foundation of faith—trust, which over time, prepares the child to express trust in Christ as Savior.

Toddlers learn Bible concepts in the ways they learn best—through activity. Center activities include dramatic play, blocks, puzzles, books, nature experiences, and art. Each center is planned to support a specific, age-appropriate Bible truth, which is also conveyed through natural conversation and a short group time. Toddler classes are offered during all services.

Threes through kindergartners have increasing skills, and they enjoy the opportunity to experience Bible truths through specifically planned center experiences (dramatic play, blocks, puzzles, books, nature, and art). The curriculum is designed to challenge every developmental domain and engage the whole child as they grow in their understanding of God’s love. Preschool classes are offered during all services.

We are currently in need of Preschool teachers for the fall. If you feel that you are being called to serve please call Jennifer Gumm in the KidsLife Office at 632-6223 ext. 221 or email at jennifer.gumm@fbcofallon.org
