First UMC Preschool

We offer complete childcare for all infants and young children to the age of five by providing:

A nursery for infants and children who need a quiet, loving atmosphere during all Sunday worship services.
Our newly renovated Nursery for Infants and Toddlers is on the second floor between the Sanctuary and Chapel. It is our hope that parents will experience convenience and peace of mind while attending worship services and other activities throughout the church.
During 11:30 a.m. worship, young children ages 2-1/2 through preschool meet in the FUMC Preschool area on the ground floor (Room 109).
Childcare is available on request for most church sponsored events by contacting Leigh Ann Kremer, Coordinator of Infant and Toddler Care through our church office at 434-296-6193.

We strive to provide programs where children experience God's love in action and find guidance in sharing God's Word with others. Come join us this Sunday morning!

"Let the little children come to me … the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."
Matthew 19:14 NIV
