Fruit Cove Baptist Weekday Preschool (FCBWP) is currently recognized as a Gold Seal State licensed preschool, and as an early care and education program exemplifying excellence in the care of young children through the National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs (NAC). NAC accreditation benefits everyone involved. Parents are assured that FCBWP meets standards that exceed the necessary minimums for licensing, the staff of FCBWP benefits from professional development and the children enrolled at FCBWP have an environment conducive to their individual growth and development.

FCBWP is seeking a new accreditation though the Association of Christian Schools (ACSI). ACSI exists to strengthen Christian schools and equip Christian educators worldwide as they prepare students academically and inspire them to become devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

At Fruit Cove Baptist Weekday Preschool, we minister to families by providing a Christ-centered education. 

The Weekday Preschool teachers use the biblically based Wee Learn curriculum for daily instruction. Preschoolers are active learners; they learn through play.

Our goal at Fruit Cove Baptist Weekday Preschool is to provide quality education and care for all preschoolers. We define these as the ABCs of preschool education. The “A” is for activity-based learning where all preschoolers through hands-on activities. The “B” is for Bible-based education, where children are introduced to Bible themes and stories as they relate to real life situations. The “C” stands for center-based play, where children have opportunities to play in a variety of centers that offer multiple experiences for imagination and creative play. 

We also provide weekly resource classes that include library, music, science, Spanish (threes/fours), and Sign Language (toddlers/twos).

We are adding a Transitional Kindergarten class to our preschool offerings for our 2026/27 school year. This brand-new class is for children who need an additional year of development before entering Kindergarten. 

We provide two teachers in each classroom. We strive to keep low ratios so that teachers are able to provide individual attention for maximum learning.

When possible, it is the desire of Fruit Cove Baptist Weekday Preschool to provide an inclusive classroom environment for children requiring special accommodations. The Weekday Preschool works in conjunction with parents and their child’s therapists to provide the best learning environment for the individual child. Much research has shown that children with mild to moderate special needs learn best by interaction with typical developing children through modeling and socialization.

Fruit Cove Baptist Weekday Preschool welcomes all qualified students and is committed to showing Christ-like love and respect to every child and family. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, gender, national origin, or creed. Together, we partner with families to help each child grow in purpose and potential through a Christ-centered foundation. 

“Fruit Cove Weekday program has been the best place for both of my kids. The smiles and hugs I receive minister volumes to me as a mom. My children are safe and genuinely know of God’s love through the staff.”

“Words can’t describe what Fruit Cove Baptist Weekday Preschool means to me. I have three children who have attended in the past with a 3 year old currently there. I love hearing about her day when I pick her up, from what she did on the playground, to what she read in the library, what she sang in music and what she learned in science. Not only is she being taught education, but she is also learning about God in every part of the day. My older children definitely went in to school with a jump start on their education, knowing a lot of things you typically learn in your kindergarten year. The teachers and staff at Fruit Cove are amazing – always loving, friendly and eager to talk to you about your little one and their accomplishments. Fruit Cove Baptist Weekday Preschool is definitely the place you want your child to be!”
