First United Methodist Preschool

First United Methodist Preschool has been providing an inviting learning environment for over 30 years and is committed to helping each child discover, affirm and develop the marvelous gift of his or her life. The preschool helps three and four year old children build self-confidence through interaction with others and discovery. A positive attitude toward learning is developed by presenting tasks for the children which they can enjoy and master. Children are encouraged to respect the rights and views of others while making decisions for themselves.

Blocks, puzzles, paints, play-dough, climbing equipment, stories, songs, rhythms and dramatic play all contribute to a day of learning and growth. Activities are held in the classrooms, activity room, and outdoors. In keeping with the Christian environment, religious songs and prayers may be included in the curriculum.

The Preschool meets three days a week on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The classes are offered mornings and afternoons.

Children must be either three or four years old by September 1 of their enrolling year. Preschool classes usually begin in early September and end in the mid-May. Vacations coincide with those in the Downers Grove Public Schools, District 58.

All teachers and premises meet or exceed the guidelines for preschools by Illinois DCFS and the Illinois Health Department. All teachers are First Aid and CPR certified.
