Welcome to the United Methodist Preschool!

The FUMC Preschool provides a Christian atmosphere where young children have the opportunity to learn through play during center and group activities. The value of sharing, caring for themselves, others, and the world around them are fostered through various activities including Bible stories and Christian music. We consistently hear feedback that children who attend our program are well-prepared for kindergarten.

FUMC’s Preschool is proud to have teachers that meet high standards for training and education, and our program and equipment meet strict regulations for safety and quality.

United Methodist Preschool Seeks:
