Testimonials

I love the staff, therapists, teachers, aids and nurses at the First Children School. They do a great job and my daughter loves going to school every day!
- Parent of FCS Student
The First Children staff are extremely compassionate. There isn’t a person in the school that doesn’t know my child. They are all very compassionate and welcoming. From the principal to the nurses, to the teachers, to the aides, even security… you name it, they’re amazing and professional! It truly has been a blessing to see such an amazing staff work collaboratively to meet the needs of every child.
- Parent of FCS Student
I know that my son is in a school that cares for him and I have a lot of communication with the teacher throughout the day, which I appreciate. They always keep me informed about my son and they are all very respectful and friendly!
- Parent of FCS Student
I’ve seen my child make tremendous growth and develop so much while at First Children School. The school works to meet each individual child’s needs based on their IEP. They also keep families abreast of the progress their children are making!

Since Ryan started First Children at age 3, we have noticed a tremendous difference in his behavior. The dedication from the entire staff dealing with all the challenges Ryan has, is truly amazing. First Children has been a huge inspiration in helping Ryan grow.
