About First Foundations Preschool

First Foundations Academic Christian Preschool

Established in 1999 by Steffani Wilkins, First Foundations Preschool serves families in Northwest Austin and Cedar Park with a rigorous academic foundation within a loving, faith-based environment. The program utilizes the A Beka phonics-centered curriculum, ensuring students develop strong cognitive and language skills during their crucial developmental years. Children engage in a balanced schedule of structured learning centers, hands-on activities, and specialized weekly classes in Music and Spanish. The facility offers diverse programming including part-time preschool, a transitional "Bridge" class, and elementary grades through 2nd grade. With a reputation for high teacher retention and qualified instructors (many holding master's degrees), the school fosters a strong community through annual events like Mother's Day celebrations and spirit nights.

First Foundations Preschool is a wonderful school with the loveliest teachers around! All 3 of my children have had the privilege of attending this precious school and we consider it one of our greatest joys sharing sweet memories from our time there. Steffani Wilkins, the Founder & Director, is truly a treasure and treats each family with tenderness and care as they walk through those halls and prepare for a new adventure each year. If you are looking for a Godly, wise & caring preschool then this is the spot for you. We will always cherish our time there and hold our FFP family dear to our hearts.

We are now in our second year at this school, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience our family has had. My child has grown so much both academically and personally thanks to the caring and supportive teachers who truly invest in their students. The curriculum is strong, and I’m always impressed by how much they are learning. Beyond the academics, this school has given us a wonderful sense of community. We’ve made real friendships with other families, which has been such a blessing. The front desk staff and director are always warm, helpful, and approachable. You can tell they genuinely care. It’s a Christian, faith-based school, but it’s also modern, welcoming, and accepting of everyone. The values they teach are lived out daily in the kindness and respect shown throughout the school. We are so happy here and highly recommend it to any family looking for a nurturing and well rounded environment for their child!

TL;DR: First Foundations is the BEST Preschool ✨ From the moment we toured First Foundations, we felt at home. The teachers at FFP are truly exceptional—ALL of them. In other schools, you might find one or two standout teachers, but at First Foundations, every single teacher is amazing and highly qualified, both academically and spiritually. I can’t speak highly enough about everything they do—wonderful classrooms, engaging extracurricular classes, graduation ceremonies, Mother's Day celebrations, and fun spirit nights—but the best part is that they are truly an INSTITUTION. You can count on them to be transparent, respectful, and hardworking, meeting every child’s needs, with your child coming in and out with a huge smile! They genuinely care about the school and the children, and it shows in everything they do. We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Special thanks to the amazing director, Mrs. Wilkins, the exceptional Bridge class teacher, Mrs. Rice, all the before and after school teachers, Mrs. Lopez for music, the Spanish teacher, and all the teachers our son will have in the future! ✨

We can't say enough great things about First Foundation Preschool! From the moment we first visited, it was clear that this is a special place for early childhood education. The environment is warm, inviting, and impeccably clean, which immediately put my mind at ease. The curriculum is both engaging and age-appropriate, providing a wonderful balance of structured learning and creative play. My child has thrived here, showing enthusiasm for new activities and making tremendous progress in both academic, social skills and love for Jesus. The teachers are exceptional—kind, patient, and highly skilled. They genuinely care about each child's development and are always ready to share updates and communicate openly with parents. It’s evident that they are passionate about their work and dedicated to creating a nurturing learning environment. The classroom setup is fantastic, with a variety of stimulating materials and resources that keep the children interested and motivated. I also appreciate the regular parent involvement opportunities, which help me stay connected with my child’s progress and the school community. Overall, First Foundation Preschool has been an outstanding choice for our family. I highly recommend it to any parent looking for a caring, God-centered, enriching preschool experience. Thank you to everyone at First Foundation for making our preschool journey so positive and memorable!

Our family cannot say enough wonderful things about First Foundations Preschool! For starters, the administration has created such a wonderful environment that they are able to retain teachers year after year. This happy staff has lead to incredibly happy kids. Teachers pour their love and dedication into nurturing the whole child through engaging lessons and allowing for creative free play. Because of the low student to teacher ratio, students are able to get more attention from the teachers which leads to higher learning outcomes. Another amazing thing about FFP is the community aspect. Families are invited to multiple events throughout the year and are able to interact and get to know each other. We are so grateful for all that the FFP staff has done for our children. There truly is no better preschool!
