Who We Are

First Kids Academy, a ministry of The Woodlands First Baptist, exists to provide parents with an assurance that their child will be loved, cared for, and educated in a safe, Christ-like environment. We work to develop the social-emotional, gross motor skills, and academic needs of our students. With play based learning, our kids grow in multiple areas while having fun!  At First Kids Academy we operate with our four core values in mind: to be Christ-centered, to offer quality care and trust, to inspire life-long learning and build solid relationships.

First Kids Academy admits students of any race, color national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color national or ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies or school administered programs.
