About Us

Trinity United Methodist Church Preschool offers classes for children 6 months to Pre-K!
Our school year is from September-May with a summer program offered in June and July.
The summer program is made up of two 3-week sessions and meets three days a week.

Our Mission
At Trinity UMC Preschool, we offer a high-quality preschool education for all children
6 months – 5 years old primarily through child-led curriculum and open-ended play in a safe and
nurturing environment. With Christ always at the center of our teachings, we strive to help
our students and their families develop a deep and meaningful relationship with Christ.

Our Pre-School. Our Family. Our Community

If you are looking for a small, community-based preschool, Trinity UMC Preschool may be the perfect fit for your family! In addition to everything we offer during the school day, we also offer lots of family-friendly events and activities throughout the school year to allow our parents to get to know each other and develop deep meaningful relationships outside of school! 

Curriculum

Reading/Writing

Through hands-on activities, we encourage our students to develop the necessary skills for both writing and reading!

Math/Science

With play-based learning centers, we immerse our students into themes that always include both math and science concepts.

Art

We provide opportunities for our students to explore and develop their creativity with paints, crayons, markers, and more!

Social/Emotional

 At Trinity, we focus on the whole child. We believe that social and emotional development is just
as important as academics. 

What are your hours of operation?

We are a half-day preschool program. We offer classes Monday-Friday from 9am-12:30pm. Our 6 month program and our 1 year old program offers classes Monday-Thursday.

What is your policy on discipline?

Positive Guidance! We will first begin with redirection, but when discipline is needed, we choose to use a positive approach! We want to allow our students to make green choices and learn how to resolve conflicts on their own!
