Our Mission
The First United Methodist Church Daycare/Preschool is child-centered, biblically-based and educational.
We offer a hands-on, developmentally-appropriate program where your child will be enriched spiritually, socially, cognitively and physically.

REGISTRATION PROCESS:
Registration begins in February for children already in our program and for church members. Remaining spots are opened to the public at the beginning of March. Enrollment packets should be returned at least one week before the first day of attendance. Before the child can be admitted, all forms (registration packet, current immunization record, signed agreement page of Parents’ Handbook and copy of insurance card) must be completed and turned in with the registration fee.Â
WAITING LIST:
You may call to be added to our waiting list at any time, including pregnancy. Our waiting list for younger ages is extensive and spots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. You will be contacted if/when a spot becomes available, at which time you will be asked to pick up and fill out our enrollment packet and pay the registration fee.Â
