First United Preschool and Daycare
Children are a gift of the Lord. Psalm 127:3

First United Preschool and Daycare is a ministry of First United Methodist Church dedicated to providing a caring, Christian environment in which young children can learn and grow.  Because we believe each child to be a unique gift of God, our program is designed to provide developmentally appropriate learning activities that allow each child to become the person God created him or her to be.  The child’s spiritual, intellectual, emotional, physical, social and aesthetic growth is nurtured through activities that meet the highest standards of early childhood education.

Our Christ-centered program, supported by the congregation of First United Methodist Church, accepts children without regard to race, color, national or ethnic origin and does not discriminate on the basis of these factors in the administration of its policies, hiring or admissions.
