PRESS RELEASE
MEEKER | Firm Foundation Childcare is grateful for the continued support of the Meeker community as we serve local families with high-quality early childhood education. As we look ahead to 2026, we are excited to be entering our third year of providing a safe, nurturing, and faith-guided environment for Meeker’s youngest learners.
Firm Foundation Childcare currently serves more than 30 children from 25 families and is blessed with a devoted team of seven teachers across our infant, toddler, PreK 3, and PreK 4/5 classrooms. Their passion and commitment make FFC a warm, joyful, and developmentally rich place for children to grow.
This year, we are thrilled to announce the addition of a dedicated classroom just for 3-year-olds. This new PreK 3 space allows us to focus more intentionally on age-appropriate learning, social development, and motor skills to ensure children are well-prepared for our 4- and 5-year-old preschool program.
Our preschool programs offer all-day instruction in small group settings, providing more focused learning time, increased one-on-one attention, and a consistent, nurturing environment—all intentionally designed to prepare children for a confident and successful transition into Kindergarten.
As we continue to expand and improve, we invite local businesses to partner with us. Contributions to Firm Foundation Childcare not only support the continued success and smooth operation of our program. Businesses can also support their employees by offering childcare tuition assistance as a meaningful and impactful employee benefit.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our current community supporters whose generosity has made a significant difference:
