Preschool Calendar
Kids First Preschool at First United Methodist Church is recognized in the community as leading and strengthening children and families in a spirit of Christian faith. 

We offer a Christian-based environment that will assist children in growing intellectually, socially, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.  Families are supported as children are encouraged to explore new environments, make new friends,  become independent and know that they are unique and loved by God.

The Perfect Setting
Our campus is set in a beautiful natural setting with fenced playground, walking trails, soccer fields and a sand area.  We also offer a large indoor gymnasium with basketball goals, balls, hopscotch, tumbling mat and riding toys. 

Art
The art enrichment program is designed to allow for creative expression and exploration through various art supplies and mediums.  Children attend 20-minute sessions once a week in small groups. A spring art show is the culmination of their year.

Music
The music enrichment program is designed to promote a rich sensory environment  through use of instruments and songs, encourage movement exploration, and introduce rhythm and tempo. Children attend music classes in 20-minute sessions at least once a week in small groups. Special music presentations are performed during the fall and at Christmas.
