WHO WE ARE

Our Preschool

Rome First School is a half-day preschool for children from one year old to kindergarten. Our classes run from 9:00 am–1:00 pm, Monday through Thursday.

At Rome First School, we believe that the preschool years should be a time where children feel happy, successful, and confident. Our teachers strive to provide a stimulating environment in which children learn through exploration and discovery. Our school is a ministry of the church, and therefore, we value the importance of fostering a passion and love for God.

The Cornerstone of Rome First School

The Rome First School was established in 1987 at Rome First United Methodist Church. What began as a simple vision by the church and children council leaders has grown into a thriving preschool in Rome. Rome First School began under the directorship of Jodye Butler with only 10 students and a paraprofessional. Over the years, RFS has grown to over 100 students ranging from 1 to 6 years old.
