Information
The First United Methodist Church Preschool was organized in 1974. The congregation has been active and supportive of the preschool since its inception. The community of Coral Springs had demonstrated a need for a preschool to help each child grow in their relationship with God and to help develop social, intellectual, academic and physical skills. We have been dedicated to keeping the high standards that were established at the beginning of the school program. We strive to adhere to the practice that our school, just like our church, exemplifies the Christ-like qualities of love, understanding, self discipline, and all others that are a reflection of God.
Philosophy
The First United Methodist Church Preschool believes in providing our students with a nurturing Christian environment. We recognize that every child is a unique gift from God. We believe that an age appropriate, activity-based program will enable all children to reach their potential, celebrate their success, and feel the joy of learning.
Admission Policy
We are a ministry of the First United Methodist Church. The student body includes children of this church, other church congregations, and children who have no church affiliation. Children of any race, color, or creed are welcome, and are entitled to all rights, privileges, and programs made available to students in the preschool. There is, however, an understanding that Christian concepts will be integrated into the program.
Discipline
Our discipline is fair, consistent, and appropriate to each child’s age and developmental level. For children that do experience behavior problems, our policy is to first redirect them to other activities. If this is unsuccessful, we will separate the child from the problem. Our policy is always one of loving discipline. Humiliation of a child will never be tolerated.
Licensing
The First United Methodist Church Preschool is licensed by Broward County's Bureau of Children and Family Services Child Care Licensing and Enforcement and is subject to its policies. We are proud to say that we have received the Gold Seal of Excellance Award annually since 1996.
License Number 45085
