First Presbyterian Preschool & Kindergarten (FPP&K) is a private co-operative preschool and kindergarten located on East Palisade Avenue in Englewood, Bergen County. Our school has over 100 years of early childhood education experience. First Presbyterian Preschool & Kindergarten welcomes students from various towns in Bergen and Hudson counties, reflecting the diversity of New Jersey. Our school lays a strong and secure learning foundation that will benefit students far beyond their early years.

At First Presbyterian Preschool & Kindergarten, we believe that early childhood learning is both exciting and ongoing. We aim to create an engaging and stimulating learning environment where children’s curiosity is encouraged and their understanding of the world can be explored and expanded. We aim to balance instructive play and constructive learning in a rewarding program that values independent exploration as much as group cooperation.

Through music appreciation, art, drama, science, social studies, reading readiness, interactive math, movement education and culinary exploration, our nurturing and highly knowledgeable staff aim to fulfill each child’s wide range of interests,while laying a strong academic foundation for future learning.

We believe that the seeds that are planted early in a child’s learning experience, must be nurtured with care and compassion.
