OUR MISSION STATEMENT
The purpose of the First United Methodist Preschool (FUMPers) is to promote the social, emotional, intellectual, moral and physical development of young children.
We provide positive learning experiences in a loving Christian environment. We hope to enhance family life through parental involvement in our program.
OUR ACADEMIC PHILOSOPHY
FUMPers is a developmental school with emphasis on active learning. We provide many opportunities for our students to experience learning for themselves.
Children are exposed to a variety of concepts through play centered activities.
OUR RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY
FUMPers is a Christian school that is open to children and families of all faiths. Our message is God loves us and looks after us. This idea is relayed daily and emphasized during weekly chapel
services.

Program Emphasis
Our program is exemplified by the following characteristics, which we believe are vital to
positive growth in a young child: Developmental: Our theme based curriculum is based upon the individual needs and interests of the children. A weekly Bible Story Chapel Time is presented in age appropriate language. Positive: Interactions and activities are utilized to develop feelings of worth and dignity. Safe: Staffing, equipment, and space are arranged to facilitate the safety of children. Carefully Staffed: The program is staffed with Christian preschool teachers who are appropriately trained, competent, and loving. A weekly music class is led by a trained music instructor. Well Equipped: Indoor and outdoor equipment is challenging and developmentally appropriate.
