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.
