Welcome to Pittsboro United Methodist Church Preschool!

ABOUT US

We offer educational based preschool programs that support the local school systems. Our Preschool was founded in 1979 with only 12 children enrolled and a dream to open our hearts and our doors to the local community, no matter what a family’s religious background may be.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to provide the best learning opportunities for the young children of our community so they are prepared to succeed, as they begin their educational journey! 

Today, our Preschool prepares the minds of students while introducing new skill sets to approximately 70 students each school year. Your child will learn to work and play with other children his/her own age. Our goal is to introduce school as a safe, caring, inviting, stimulating and happy place to be. 

Our programs focus on language development, learning to recognize & write the alphabet & numbers, social behavior, self-reliance, physical development, speaking in front of a group, introductions to music & crafts, color & shape recognition, cutting skills, name & address recognition, learning how to recognize and deal with feelings, sharing and learning to work well in a group setting.

CLASS INFORMATION

All classes have music on a weekly basis and monthly visits from Pastor William Nickrand, who enjoys sharing Bible Stories and songs with the children.

Realizing the importance of your child’s progress throughout the school year, we have parent / teacher conferences in January and provide progress reports in January and May. We encourage parent involvement in the classroom and at home. There is a monthly calendar of events and weekly newsletters sent home, giving us an opportunity to communicate directly with you about our daily activities.

Registration is based on a first come, first serve basis according to class availability. There is a $125 non-refundable registration fee due at the time of registration to confirm your child’s place in class. We offer two types of preschool programs: The Beginners Program ages 3-4yrs and Pre-K (Pre-Kindergarten) Program ages 4-6yrs. Our programs run during the school year, August to end of May.

The Beginners Program teaches fundamental basics to children ages 3-4 years old. The focus is on learning how to bridge the separation from home and family to the classroom.
