First Presbyterian Preschool of East Aurora has been nurturing the littlest members of the East Aurora community since 1962. We offer a warm, well-rounded early childhood program for children ages 3–5, built on the belief that play is the most powerful vehicle for learning. Ours is a family-oriented program that welcomes and encourages parent involvement from the very first day of school.

The Sunshine Room

3-Year-Old Class | Tuesday & Thursday (Wed FLEX) | 9:00 AM –12:00 PM

"Learning Through Play" is our motto— and in the Sunshine Room, it comes to life every single day. Our 3-year-olds grow through meaningful, joyful play that nurtures social connection, physical development, emotional well-being, intellectual curiosity, and spiritual grounding (SPIES). Children make friends, learn to share, discover how to care for others, and build new skills with confidence in a loving, supportive environment where they are free to explore and simply be kids.

The Star Room

4/5-Year-Old Class | Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday (M/F FLEX) Days | 9:00 AM –12:00 PM

The Star Room is designed to help children make a smooth and confident transition into full-day school. Through intentional, play-based learning, we build on the whole child — strengthening social connection, physical development, emotional well-being, intellectual curiosity, and spiritual grounding (SPIES) — while developing stamina, early academic foundations, and the kind of joyful confidence that sets children up for lifelong success.
