"FPPS has a wonderful community feel. The teachers and director are excellent. Our oldest son has grown as such a wonderful little person while attending. While our family places importance on scholastic learning, we also wanted to send our children to a place that would help them to be kind, compassionate people. We have been extremely satisfied with the all encompassing approach to learning; from social skills to sight words FPPS does a great job! We will be sending all 3 of our kiddos." -Katie 2021 "I can not say enough good things about this school and teachers! Recently my daughter got very ill and was out for awhile. However, the school had reached out to us asking how she was doing weekly sometimes daily. They dropped off goodies for her and our family to help cheer her up and make life easier for us as we were taking turns staying at the hospital! She was out for almost two months but they never forgot her and always included her. If there was a party they dropped off the goodies and activities from the party. They are just not a school to help your child learn but they are family! They truly care about their kids and families in it! I am so appreciative of all the teachers! So glad that we are part of such a wonderful school! Highly recommend them!!!!" -Heidi 2021 "My 3 children attended FPPS from 2011 - 2014. The school came highly recommended by several friends and neighbors. This was our first experience leaving our children in the care of others. From the minute we entered the school we were confident that they would be well cared for. We feel that FPPS encouraged their personal, spiritual, social and educational development. My boys created some wonderful memories there and made some life long friends. They felt safe and loved with their teachers. We are not members of the Church but always felt welcomed at church functions such as trunk or treat and vacation bible school.
