First United Methodist Church Co-op Preschool
in Fort Collins, Colorado

The First United Methodist Co-op (FUMC) Preschool has provided a high quality, nurturing and professional preschool program for children of the Fort Collins region for 40 years. FUMC Preschool is Accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).

The strength of the FUMC Preschool program, the quality and commitment of our teachers and the involvement of the preschool parents are the anchors that make this a preschool that families return to again and again.

Our goal is to provide a safe, happy and developmentally appropriate place for your child to cultivate his/her own unique talents during his/her preschool years, to develop socialization skills that will assist him/her in interacting in a school environment and to encourage an appreciation and awareness of God's love.

Parents and teachers of FUMC Preschool work together to provide a quality, developmentally appropriate preschool program for children. Parents assist as classroom helpers, serve on committees, provide nutritional snacks for the classrooms and can serve on the Parent Advisory Board. Through this cooperative effort, parents:

* Learn ways to reinforce in the home the things their children are learning in school.
* Have opportunities to meet and develop friendships with other parents involved in our preschool.
* Gain insight into the development of young children.
* Have the opportunity to work directly with preschool children under the supervision of trained professionals.
