St Paul's United Methodist Church

History

St. Paul's United Methodist Church had a vision to operate a preschool in 1981. A group of dedicated volunteers offered many hours preparing and applying for the State License with the Department of Social Services. The church applied to operate and maintain a center for 30 children between the ages of 2.9 years to 5 years of age. We opened our doors in the fall of 1982 with just 2 sessions. The program has since grown to 5 sessions with a total enrollment of 100 students and 10 staff members.

Specialties

Our preschool has been open since 1982. The purpose of our school is provide a developmentally appropriate, semi-structured preschool education that includes basic Christian values. The preschool incorporates an introduction to math, science, language arts and dramatic play in combination with the social, emotional and physical development of the child. Students are encouraged to develop the inherent and cultural potential that they each have. Through individual interaction, we strive to expand and support a child's self-image and confidence.
