Serving the needs of children and community since 1965!

 

            

 

The purpose of Bethlehem United Methodist Preschool is to provide a group environment for social development in a Christian atmosphere.

 A fully planned program of activities which include learning games, songs, field trips, resource people, stories, arts and crafts and exercise is utilized to encourage the development of the whole child.

Our program uses exciting hands-on learning experiences to promote the intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and creative development of each child.  Since each child develops at his or her own rate, we do not expect all children to achieve certain skills.

 
 

 
 
  • To promote the full development of each child in a loving, Christian environment.
  • To provide many opportunities for creative play.
  • To help each child develop a positive self-concept.
  • To be sensitive to each child's emotional needs.
  • To help each child grow in self-discipline by setting reasonable limitations and rules to follow.
  • To help each child learn through direct involvement with a variety of materials, people, and places.
  • To help each child grow in preparation of readiness skills.
  • To respect the rights of others through co-operative play and sharing.
  • To value and encourage the direct involvement of parents.
