Our Objective
First United Methodist Preschool will provide a happy environment for your child, in which learning is based on clear goals of self-development, resulting in fruitful activities and fun. This environment allows each child the freedom to progress at their own rate. It is our hope and prayer that this informal learning experience fosters positive self-esteem, personal responsibility, creativity, and a love for learning that serves as the foundation for future academic success.
Our “pre” – school program is designed to promote kindergarten readiness. Readiness is not necessarily reading, writing, adding, and subtracting for the preschooler. Instead, it is interacting with others and engaging in planned activities through play that will enable them to perform these skills successfully later. Therefore, throughout our entire program you will see “work” disguised as play.
Our Mission Statement
First United Methodist Church Preschool promotes a happy and loving environment where children are given the opportunity to explore God’s world in a safe and age appropriate manner. We believe each child is wonderfully made in the image of God. We seek to guide our children in wisdom and stature and teach them the love of Jesus Christ. First United Methodist Church Preschool is a church sponsored Christian mission program that does acknowledge and respect the different religions and cultures represented in the program and the community.

Transitional Kindergarten Class
Our Transitional Kindergarten program (also known as TK) is designed for children who just miss the state’s age cut-off or are not quite ready for Kindergarten, even though their birthdays are within the state guidelines to attend. These children are ready for more than preschool, but not yet ready for the pressure of traditional kindergarten. This program is not intended to be a repeat of a 4 year old preschool year, but serves as a bridge for children needing additional time to learn more about friendships, assert independence and examine the world around them.
The Transitional Kindergarten program has a comprehensive curriculum that meets the needs of the 5 year old child at a pace that has been adapted to best suit their abilities. As children acquire skills, they advance at their own individual pace to the next level.
This is not a licensed Kindergarten Class. Children will enter traditional kindergarten the following year.
December 31st is the date by which Transitional Kindergarteners must be Five Years Old.
Play Pals, Early Bird and Lunch Bunch
These are extensions of the preschool program and offered to newly and currently enrolled families.
Our mission is to provide a happy and loving environment where children are given the opportunity to explore all the possibilities of God’s world. Every child is special… and, as such, we welcome each child with love.
