First United Methodist Preschool’s center-based environment enables a strong and structured learning culture, with the enriching curriculum and activities for students that stimulate the brain and their curiosity. Students will benefit from the socialization opportunities that come from interacting with peers of similar ages and non-family adults that’re professionals in the early education space. The full-time schedule at First United Methodist Preschool is also here for you and your child. A full-time schedule gives students the full opportunity for social, behavioral, language and cognitive development. Students will play, interact and laugh with other students their own ages on a daily basis and get the benefits of a dedicated, structured environment.

First United Methodist Preschool also proffers a Reggio Emilia curriculum that place emphasis on relationships, culture, and constructivist learning. Students and families can expect a Reggio Emilia school like First United Methodist Preschool to be very community-focused, both within and outside of the classroom, and teach the principles of respect and responsibility even at such an early age. The Reggio Emilia method also emphasizes discovery, exploration and play, often through the sensory experiences of touching, moving, and listening, and seeks to develop the whole student by activating students to have boundless ways of expressing themselves and taking some control over their own education.
