Welcome to FUMC Preschool

Our Philosophy: 
The foundation of this school is a child-centered program in an atmosphere of love, fundamental to learning in a Christian setting. Each child is unique, a child of God. In this light, it is essential that the parents and teachers work together in a sincere effort to understand each child as they strive to help each one meet his own goals, and to help him or her grow from dependency toward a happy, self-directing, responsible, contributing member of society.

Testimonials:


​"My son attended the preschool for 2 years and we loved it!  As a 3 year old most people had a hard time understanding him, the teachers picked up on his lack of speech right away and recommended he be evaluated for speech therapy. This was all done at the preschool through the GISD. He qualified for therapy, the speech therapist came to the school (so no extra trips or appointments) and at no cost to us. The improvements he made in those 2 years is incredible and currently he is back on track for his age. I cannot thank them enough for all they did for him."   ---Renee S.

"Both of my daughters attended FUMC Preschool for 2 years each. My favorite part was the small class sizes. The teachers were able to give a lot of individualized attention while also allowing each child to work on their social skills. The class is structured age appropriate and rules are clearly defined for the children. The curriculum involves learning through play! Such a great thing for preschoolers. Tuition is affordable, teachers are caring but firm and the atmosphere is amazing! I recommend FUMC to all of my friends and family!"   ---The Nash Family

"My daughter attended FUMC as a 3/4 year old and I must say the amount of learning that took place in the school year astonished me!  I plan to send my 
other two children to FUMC in the near future and look forward to witnessing the same growth as their sister! I really can't say enough positive things about FUMC and its teachers!"   ---Andrea H.

"Both of my sons have attended the preschool at FUMC, and they both have had an amazing experience during their preschool years! We would highly recommend this program to any parent who is considering preschool for their child. One of the best parts of the program are the amazing teachers who are extremely patient and genuinely care about the students and their families! As a parent of a young preschooler, it is so wonderful to find teachers that are so attentive the needs of each student. The teachers focus on curriculum and activities that help the children to grow both academically and socially - and they always make learning fun! We are very grateful to have such a wonderful preschool in our community!      --The Fussman Family
