*IMPORTANT NOTE:
Summer Fun spots are in high demand! We will ALWAYS offer our Summer spots to our families enrolled in the following school year first, then we will extend the offer to Alumni who GRADUATED from our PreK 4 program next and FUMCA alumni members. If space, then allows, we will take Alumni first come first served. New Preschool families enrolling for the school year, will be offered a Summer Fun spot option, to secure their enrollment in our Preschool Program.
SUMMER SWIM LESSONS
With an outdoor pool located on campus, Summer Fun at FUMP is proud to offer swim lessons to children ages 3yrs - 6yrs. With certified instructors, children will focus on becoming acclimated to the water and will learn basic water safety and skills. Parents are welcome to come and view their child during their designated lesson time from a private viewing room. Participants must be enrolled in FUMP's Summer Fun program.
MUSIC
Offered five days a week. At least three performances are given throughout the school year. Gross motor skills as well as team concepts are necessary in the execution of this activity.
FRENCH
First United Methodist incorporates a "whole-language" approach as our French classes reflect what is currently being taught in our curriculum. Students are introduced to words and songs in French in an effort to gain confidence and familiarity with a second language.
CHAPEL
Occurs every Tuesday. All preschool classes meet in the sanctuary and listen to the First United Methodist Pastor speak about a Christian value that can assist in the character development of young children.
GODLY PLAY
Taught every Wednesday to each class. Godly Play is a method for teaching children how Bible stories connect with your child's experiences and relationship with goodness. Godly Play respects the innate spirituality of children and encourages curiosity and imagination in experiencing the mystery and joy of faith.
