Weekday Preschool
The Whole Child Approach to Learning for Life
First Baptist Weekday Preschool | FOR CHILDREN AGES 2-5 YEARS OLD
September - May, Tuesday - Thursday, 8:30am - 3:00pm
For over 45 years, First Baptist Preschool (formerly WEE School) has been a trusted name in the Cleburne community—fostering a joy and eagerness for learning that prepares preschoolers for the classroom and beyond. At First Baptist Preschool, we partner with parents to help children grow into confident, compassionate individuals with a love for learning and a foundation of faith that lasts a lifetime. We nurture the whole child (mind, body, and spirit) according to Luke 2:52:
“And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.”
First Baptist Preschool provides a loving, safe, and Christ-centered environment where preschoolers can grow academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
