First Methodist Church Nursery School

In 1948, the Preschool, formerly known as the Nursery School, was started to serve the children of church members. It soon expanded into a professional Preschool for the community and over the years has gained a reputation as one of the finest in the city. We accept children beginning at 2 1/2 years old (and potty trained). Under the guidance of qualified teachers and a full-time director, the school provides an enrichment program to enhance your child’s growth and development physically, socially, emotionally, spiritually, and academically. Experiences in science, art, nature, music, and dramatic play are providEducation Classes are structured by age so that all the equipment and activities are developmentally appropriate. Teacher/child ratios are kept low to insure a quality Preschool education. at mid-morning and after nap time in the afternoon a variety of snacks are served and at noon a nutritious, hot lunch is prepared by our cook; all of which are included in the cost of the tuition. The Preschool is an 11 month program – September through July – and is closed the month of August and on all public school holidays. The Preschool is open from 7 am – 5:30 pm Monday through Friday.
