NEWLY RENOVATED CLASSROOMS & EXTENDED HOURS!

Beginning in the fall of 2019, newly renovated classrooms will open for your child! We are currently expanding enrollment and will offer early childhood education for children ages 6 weeks - 5 years.


As an extension of the home, children at First Kids Learning Center grow socially and academically, while deepening their love for one another and God. For over 30 years, First Kids Learning Center (previously known as Mother's Day Out and Preschool at First St. Charles United Methodist Church) has provided high-quality, Christian early childhood education.


We offer flexible, individualized learning programs Monday through Friday, 9:00am-3:15pm, for children ages 6 weeks - 5 years. Extended hours include early drop off beginning at 8:00am and late stay pick up at 4:00pm.

EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN A CHRISTIAN ENVIRONMENT

First Kids Learning Center was born out of the belief that the natural setting of the church is an extension of the home. Our qualified Christian teachers are eager to help your child make the transition from home to school as smoothly as possible. Your child will grow spiritually, physically, and intellectually at First Kids. Your child will thrive in their development growth, creative expression, and reinforcement of positive self-concept in a safe and healthy environment. 


Our curriculum is based on the Missouri State Early Learning Standards.
