First Congregational Preschool 225 South Interlachen Avenue, Winter Park, FL 32789

"We loved our experience in Kindergarten at FCC. It was a beautiful experience for my kids and also for us. The school focuses on developing a child’s social/emotional abilities, while also focusing on educating them. Studies are showing that many schools are missing the mark on developing the whole child because they are too focused on academics. FCC does both so beautifully. Our kids were in so many plays, they raised chickens from eggs, and the classroom was perfect for Kindergarten. Each child received a job each day, which my twins loved. We had two full-time teachers for only 14 kids. My twins learned to read, not by sight words, but by sounding it out. They had a classroom party each month with parental involvement. The school and teachers also fostered healthier eating, politeness and plenty of free time. Plus, the hours are from 9-1 pm which is more reasonable than longer days. I loved that they had car circle for easier pick up and drop off. FCC is open to all faiths attending the school, so every child and family will feel welcomed. In the morning, you’re greater with big smiles from all the staff including the schools Director. It’s just joyful!! I would absolutely recommend FCC! I’m excited to send my littlest one once he’s older. I think they start at 3 years old through Kindergarten."

"Attending FCC is one of the best decisions we've made since moving to Florida. It's so blessed to see my daughter enjoying every single day at school. She told us about "tons of fun" and kept counting down for the school during the last winter break."

"As someone who has been in education for over a decade I was very worried about my standards for my daughters first school experience. We just completed our first school Year at FCC and I couldn't be happier. The school has exceeded my expectations and refueled my faith in education. There are still schools And teachers who LOVE what they do and enjoy molding the young minds of children and FCC is one of those schools!! My daughter couldn't wait to go to school each morning. She made new friends that will last a life time. Karen Sinclair, the director, is always at the door waiting to welcome the children to school each morning and was very helpful with any questions I had. The school loves volunteers and opens their doors to parent help! I would totally recommend the school to someone who wants their child to love school!"

"Best preschool in Orlando! The teachers at this school truly love the children. The way they allow kids to explore and learn through play is amazing. They also use all positive guidance and don't use punishments and reward/behavior charts which was something very important to my family. My kids sincerely love every day they spend at FCC preschool."
