About First United Methodist Preschool

At FUMP, we encourage growth in all areas of a child’s development. Our Mission is to provide a safe, nurturing, and engaging early learning environment that effectively supports the diverse needs of children and families in our community. We provide opportunities for social-emotional interactions to foster cognitive growth and physical development. We recognize that children have an innate desire to be wanted and recognized. We prioritize building trust and safety in our relationships with children and in their relationships with one another. We allow children to influence their own learning by sharing their interests and actively exploring their surrounding environment. And we infuse Christian values into our everyday learning. Values like: love, trust, respect, responsibility, self-control, honesty, compassion, patience, thankfulness, humility, perserverance, and faith in God. While we’re proud of our Christian roots, there are no religious requirements to attend FUMP. Many of our enrolled families attend the church where we’re located, but many others don’t. While at FUMP, your child will learn to develop healthy relationships with God, themselves, and others, and will be introduced to values of love, care, and respect for others that are foundations for Christian living. Since 1969, our school has been trusted by families to foster growth and education in their children. For decades, our school enrollment was maintained simply by word of mouth. Parents of FUMP children loved their experience with FUMP, and shared it generously with their friends. We encourage you to come visit, get to know us, and see for yourself the ways we continue to bring love and magic into our classrooms.
