Located in the heart of Willow Glen in San Jose, California, First Discoveries Christian Preschool enrolls children 2.5 to Pre-K. The environment we offer is safe, active and collaborative in nature to motivate the child to play an important role in their own education. Our innovative program allows children to grow in the areas of social, emotional, cognitive, physical and spiritual development.
Our approach to learning is hands-on combined with active exploration. We also provide the children with amazing Montessori materials, phonics, fine arts, music, science, and opportunities to develop their social and problem solving skills, as well as cooking activities. We offer the children a fun and sensitive time to hear God's Word through stories and creative activities that will help them develop their character. We strive to provide the children with a variety of educational opportunities that will foster their independence and raise their self confidence.
In the afternoon we have a fun and age appropriate Spanish Immersion Program. It is here where children are exposed to Spanish through language, fun songs, activities, stories, games and conversations. This program is also open to children enrolled in Kindergarten looking for an afternoon program that will provide them with active learning opportunities and teach them a second language too!

Our founders are Rose Gemmell and Terry Beckett, mother and daughter who know from experience the benefit of having strong family values. Their commitment to the physical, mental and spiritual health of today’s children and their families is found in all the thought and effort that has been put into the creation of First Discoveries Christian Preschool.
