Preschool Philosophy and Objectives 

As a developmental philosophy-based program, we emphasize six interrelated areas which are important for the growth of the whole child: Intellectual, social, physical, emotional, spiritual, and creative. A love for learning is fostered through an environment rich in opportunities for growth. It is recognized that the experiences of a child's early years are especially important in forming attitudes about the world we live in and attitudes about learning.
    A primary goal of the FIRST UNITED METHODIST PRESCHOOL is meeting the needs of individual children so that they enter kindergarten ready to learn. Each child is helped to experience success and positive feeling of self-worth at their level of maturity. We believe preschool is a gradual adjustment from home to school life, a place where your child can have a comfortable and happy time away from home with caring teachers. While each child is developing, he or she is also learning about God, who loves and cares for him/her and can grow into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
