Fredericksburg United Methodist Preschool, Fredericksburg

FUMC Preschool promotes the development of the total child. Since children are developmentally different,we feel that each child deserves the opportunity to develop at his or her own pace with a carefully designed curriculum created to meet individual needs. Our staff of well-trained teachers and classroom assistants create an environment to stimulate learning,permit social interaction, and develop a feeling of security and self-confidence in a play-based atmosphere. We have designed an individualized half-day program that begins with low student-teacher ratios in all of our classrooms. Continuing professional and educational opportunities are provided for our staff, giving them fresh ideas and new insights for working with the children. Classroom experiences are enriched by music and physical education programs, arts and crafts, educational learning centers, access to computers, dramatic play, creative play, socialization, field trips, story times, free play indoors and outdoors, and numerous extra-curricular activities based upon Christian principles. Every student will gain phonic and early reading skills, introductory mathematics and science skills, as well as handwriting and fine motor enhancement. Each three-and four-year-old child will be involved in two public presentations: our Christmas program and end-of-the-year program. Additionally, we host special Fathers' and Mothers' Nights annually for parents of three-and four-year-old students. The operation of the Preschool is under the guidance of FUMC's Board of Directors, is financially non-profit and self-sufficient, and has met all documentation required by the Commonwealth of Virginia for religiously exempt preschools. Our tuition rates are competitive and discounts are available for siblings.
