About First Presbyterian Nursery

First Presbyterian Nursery School in Santa Monica is a non-religious, not-for-profit early childhood education program founded in 1959 that has served families in the community for over 65 years. The school welcomes families from all backgrounds and experiences, offering a collaborative, Reggio-inspired learning environment where children's curiosities are nurtured through shared explorations and discovery. Teachers at First Pres, many of whom have been part of the educational team for decades, serve as researchers who carefully observe, listen, and document children's work to build relationships and stimulate thinking. The school emphasizes learning made visible through the documentation of children's progress, thoughtfully prepared environments that support relationship-building, and diverse materials that enable children to communicate and think in multiple ways. Parents, teachers, and children learn together through school-wide experiences such as community sings, classroom meetings, cultural celebrations, and family conferences that bring multiple perspectives together.
