Security – FBNO conducts a criminal background check on every person who works in our preschool area. Preschool workers must be members of FBNO for at least six months before they are allowed to serve. Our Preschool Policies provide additional information on security measures in place at FBNO.
Notification – FBNO utilizes a paging system to alert parents if their child needs attention. One vibrating pager is assigned to each family that will notify them when they need to return to the preschool area to check on their child.
ETC (Extended Teaching Care) - ETC is available during our Sunday morning worship service for children birth through 4 years-old. Children in ETC hear a Bible story, work on an activity, and enjoy play time with other children their age. ETC begins each Sunday at 9:10 am (our morning worship service begins at 9:30 am). Children in ETC remain in the preschool area for Bible Study which immediately follows.
Bible Study – Bible study at FBNO involves every age group, including our preschoolers. Age appropriate curriculum from LifeWay Christian Resources is used during our Bible Study hour.
Mission Friends – On Wednesday evenings our 3 year-old through Kindergarten classes enjoy learning about missionaries and the work they do around the world. The primary objective of Mission Friends is to provide a strong foundation for preschoolers in a Christian and missions lifestyle. Mission Friends provides developmentally appropriate missions learning experiences to help preschoolers move from a self-centered focus to a focus on others, to become aware that not everyone knows about God's love, and to understand ways they can help others know about this good news!
MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) – MOPS is an opportunity for mothers to receive encouragement, fellowship, and insight from “experts” in child rearing. MOPS meet every-other week so be sure to check the church calendar for the next meeting date.
ELC (Early Learning Center)- First Academy Early Learning Center (ELC) is a State of Louisiana licensed Class "B" daycare facility and provides care for children ages six weeks to five years of age. Our hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM. Click for more info.
