      We are very happy we are back. My son went there for 6 months and we have been back for about a month ago. I like the staff. I like how well structure the routine is. Your child has to bring a lunch bag but at least you know what he/she is eating.
      Teachers are super!! The entire staff are welcoming and always keeping your child learning and busy.
      Fun activities, Holidays activities, and they give a daily report on how the day went.
      Happy Son- Happy Monther!!

      Both my kids went to this school throughout their PreK years. I have loved the small family feeling and how the teachers really get to know and love the kids. My kids were so academically ready for Kindy.

      The best part is even after your child graduates from their school the teachers are willing to help. I went back to the preschool to talk to the teacher even though my child graduated already. The teacher let me know what worked and didnt work for my child in a classroom setting. I can now spread that to his new teachers. It is so awesome for them to support you and be so helpful even after you leave.

      We love Miss Jessica in Palm springs she is such an asset to your school. Shes an awesome teacher and taught my son and daughter so many things. We love you.

      Miss Brianna at Cathedral city is awesome too we love her. She is a great asset and loves the children.

      Thank you both!!!

      I would not recommended taking your child here . I pick my son up today right after I dropped him off becuase I felt like shit leaving him with workers who yell at the kid for being kids and yelling at them in front of me, didnt even acknowledge son was there nor told me where to take him and last week they put his diaper on backward and did not clean him well, he still had poop on his butt and a skid mark in his diaper. That was only his first week there and they proved why I hate daycares .

      My son's first year of kindergarten completed! We look forward to 1st grade in the coming weeks. He is at the top of his class and his teacher contributed a lot of his early success to his knowledge base from pre-school. Of course his Dad & I are thrilled that our investment in excellent early childhood education is paying off!!

      We love First School! With a nurturing staff, it is a great place for children to learn and have fun. We're definitely going to miss them when our little one heads off to kindergarten this fall.

      First School is a wonderful preschool. One of my children has just promoted and will start kindergarten in the fall. I know he is ready for next year after all the hard work he has done over the past two years. My youngest is continuing to learn and grow there. The teachers and the staff at First School are professional, kind, and excited to help kids learn. When I pick my kids up from school, I ask what the best part of their day was. Consistently, their answer is, "Everything!" My little one tells me that he didn't learn anything, he only played all day. Then he goes on to tell me all about the letter of the day and the things that start with that letter, the number of the day and showing me how many that is. He doesn't even realize he's working and learning, he is certain he has only been playing. I am thrilled that First School has been my children's early childhood learning experience.

      My son has been going to First School for about 2 years now. He absolutely loves going. He loves all of his teachers and friends. I appreciate their hours and flexibility. I have not had one issue with this school. I look forward to putting my 1 year old in this school as soon as he turns 2. I appreciate them and all that they do for son.
