MISSION STATEMENT
A Child's Garden Preschool
(ACG), a non-sectarian community outreach program of First
Presbyterian Church, is committed to providing a
developmentally appropriate learning environment for a
diverse population of young children respectful of the
individual needs, cultural heritage and identity of each
child.
National
Accreditation
ACG
is accredited by the National Association for the Education
of Young Children which accredits high quality early
childhood programs. Maintaining the
accreditation calls for a high level of program planning as
well as family participation. During the
years that the accreditation self-assessment process is
scheduled, family in-put is especially
valuable. As we proceed with a continuous
self-evaluation, we appreciate and respect your
objectivity.
A Child's Garden is located at 215
Locust Street NE, just south of Martin Luther King, Jr. Drive
and west of I-25.
You may contact us through this website or
by calling 764-2920, or email us at
achildsgarden@firstpresabq.org.
The program operates from 7:45 (early care
before 9:00) through 5:30 (after care begins at 3:15).
The school calendar follows.
