Important Notes

Dear Parents, 

First Baptist Cumming Weekday Preschool is excited to offer a kindergarten program for the 26-27 school year! Our Weekday Preschool Program has a long-standing reputation in this community, and for many years our preschool family and alumni have expressed a strong need for another quality kindergarten program in our community. After much thought, prayer, and consideration, we are excited to offer this option for the 26-27 school year. We know that you may have many questions about our kindergarten program, including the structure of our kindergarten day, curriculum used, as well as differences between our kindergarten program and our young 5s program. For this reason, we have included a chart to highlight key differences between our kindergarten and young 5s programs. Additionally, we will be hosting a Prospective Parents Information Meeting on Thursday, January 8th at 10:30 a.m. Directly after this meeting, we will be having a meeting for prospective kindergarten and 5K parents, where we will share a brief overview of the programs and answer any questions you may have. If you are interested in attending this information meeting, we ask that you please RSVP to mary.paige@firstbaptistcumming.org so that we can make proper arrangements. 

If I can help answer any questions prior to this date, please do not hesitate to let me know! We are eagerly anticipating this new journey and are excited about the new opportunities afforded to our students! Sincerely, 

Mary Paige Jones 

Weekday Preschool Director

Dear Parents, 
Thank you so much for your interest in our Weekday Preschool program. It is a privilege to serve your family, and we see it as a great responsibility. The purpose of First Baptist Church is to worship God, reach people for Christ, obey God’s Word, love one another, and serve others.  

Registration forms and Parent Handbooks will be available to pick up at FBCWP office beginning Monday, December 8th. These documents may be picked up between 8:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m., Monday-Thursday. Priority registration for families currently enrolled in FBCWP begins on Wednesday, January 14th and runs until Thursday, January 22nd. These children will be placed in classrooms in the order in which registration forms are received. On the afternoon of Thursday, January 22nd, priority registration closes for families currently enrolled in FBCWP and remaining spots will be filled by church members, alumni, and then outside registration, in the order received. Anyone may turn in their registration forms beginning on January 14th. Outside registration forms will be time/date stamped and filed away until January 23rd, when remaining spots will begin to be filled. The earlier you turn in your registration form to the office, the better the chance of receiving a spot for your child for the 2026-2027 preschool year. We will have an information meeting and tour for prospective parents on Thursday, January 8th at 10:30 a.m. Directly after this meeting, we will be having a meeting for prospective kindergarten and 5K parents, where we will share a brief overview of the programs and answer any questions you may have. If you are interested in attending this information meeting/tour, we ask that you please RSVP to mary.paige@firstbaptistcumming.org, so that we can make proper arrangements. We look forward to meeting you then! 

For many years, our church members have seen the need for and supported this ministry in our church. We want to do our best to meet both your child’s needs and your family’s. Please let us know if there is any way we can minister to you. Of course, we invite you to participate in our many other programs and would love to have you as part of our church family.
Please let us know if we can be of any assistance to you!
