Our Mission
The mission of Covenant United Methodist Church Preschool is to nurture and support the whole family. The beliefs that form the ground work for our mission are:
Positive interaction with both the parent and child will affect our community as a whole. We believe that a Christian foundation provides the basis for this positive interaction
Children should develop a high self-esteem, gained through confidence in God, their environment, their caretakers and by being encouraged in the master of their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical skills.
A child’s play is his/her work, accomplished in a Christian, low-stress, non-competitive setting
The Preschool is a mission of Covenant United Methodist Church.

Parents love Covenant UMC Preschool. Here’s what some said in the 2009 Covenant UMC Preschool Parent Survey:
“The atmosphere in the school is one of a caring and happy environment.”
“The director and teachers are wonderful!!”
“I like how personal everyone is. It feels more like a family than a school.”
“I love the warm atmosphere, teachers that go ‘above and beyond,’ and the wonderful environment that the preschool offers.”
“The teachers are loving; the program content is strong; and the fundamentals are Christian.”
“Everyone is cheerful. We were welcomed right in!”
“We’ve used this program for years, and it has always been great.”

Curriculum and Philosophy
We believe that children learn best through play. Classroom activities are developmentally appropriate and correspond to thematic units. The child’s daily schedule balances activities that are:
- Structured/Unstructured
- Indoor/Outdoor
- Informative/Creative
- Individual/Group
- Active/Quiet
- Observing/Participating
- Teacher- /Child-Directed
Every child is unique with his/her own needs and interests. We seek to nurture each child’s social, emotional, physical, cognitive and spiritual abilities.
