FUMC Preschool

Train up a child in the way they should go;
and when they are old, they will not depart from it.

Preschool Fundamentals

Our Mission

We at Statesboro First United Methodist Preschool and Child Care Ministry seek forth most to glorify the Lord and make God known. We want each child who attends our program to know that God loves them. By nurturing children daily in this manner, we pray that we can teach them spiritual morals and values, and that these truths will allow them to develop strong characteristics in a happy and secure environment. 

Our Vision

Our vision is to have the children and families who enter the doors of First United Methodist Church Preschool sense the love of God as we build connecting relationships with them. 

Our Spiritual Approach

God has given parents and teachers the awesome responsibility of nurturing the children God has placed in our care. In faith, we believe that when we plant the seeds of God's Word, the child develops in the wisdom and knowledge of God's ways.

Our Staff

Our teachers have an incredible love and passion for learning and growing. They share a daily Bible lesson with songs, stories and Scripture verses. Teachers also use their time to present life application lessons that connect to children's lives in a meaningful, age-appropriate way. In all of our curriculum, we pray that God will be perceived as our creator and in control of our lives and universe.
