    Vision
    Within the Ferguson-Florissant Early Education Program, it is our vision that all children will be successful learners who are caring, creative and confident.  Recognizing and understanding that parents are a child's first teacher, we believe that developing positive partnerships between home and school is crucial to ensuring children gain the confidence and skills needed to be successful learners in preschool and throughout K-12.
