Programs & Curriculums

At First Impressions of Rockledge, everything we do begins with one core principle: the well-being and development of each child comes first. Whether we’re designing a lesson plan, hiring a new teacher, or planning classroom activities, the question we always ask is, “What’s best for the children?” This child-first mindset drives the quality of care we provide and is at the heart of every program we offer.

Our Programs & Curriculum are thoughtfully structured to grow alongside your child. From our Tremendous Toddlers just beginning to explore the world, to our Terrific Twos discovering independence, and our Thrilling Threes gaining language and social skills—each stage supports whole-child development with a balance of learning, creativity, and play. By the time children reach our Fantastic Fours, they’re building school readiness skills and forming friendships that will carry them into kindergarten with confidence and joy.

We also proudly offer Holiday and Summer Camps, filled with themed weeks, hands-on projects, outdoor fun, and a little extra magic. These programs keep children engaged and excited to learn even when school is out. For those preparing for elementary school, our Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) program offers a strong academic foundation with a focus on reading, math, independence, and social-emotional growth—ensuring children are not just ready for school, but ready to thrive.

Across every classroom, our teachers bring warmth, experience, and a true passion for early education. We believe that when children feel safe, loved, and supported, they grow in incredible ways. At First Impressions, we’re more than a preschool—we’re a trusted part of your family’s journey.

Our curriculum blends academics with creativity, focusing on early literacy, math, science, critical thinking, and art. Each day is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and support every child’s unique journey.

Our Pre-School. Our Family. Our Community

At First Impressions, we believe preschool is more than just a place to learn—it’s a place to belong. Proudly serving the Rockledge community, our school is built on strong relationships, where families feel supported, children feel loved, and community connections thrive. We work hand-in-hand with parents to create a nurturing, inclusive environment that feels like family. Together, we’re laying the foundation for a bright future, one little learner at a time.

Curriculum

We build early literacy skills through engaging stories, letter recognition, and fun writing activities—fostering a lifelong love of language and learning.

Hands-on exploration helps children discover patterns, numbers, and the wonders of the world around them, laying the groundwork for future problem-solvers.

From painting to imaginative play, we give children space to express themselves, explore new ideas, and develop fine motor skills through creative experiences.

Through puzzles, games, and guided exploration, we encourage children to ask questions, make connections, and think independently with confidence.
