Purpose Statement
Our purpose is to minister to the whole child by providing a safe caring Christian environment that nurtures each child's social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual growth.  We also provide emotional and spiritual support to parents and families.
 

A bit about us...
The First United Methodist Christian School is a non-profit program, supported by the church and licensed by the state of Colorado.  We opened our doors in 1998 with our Toddler Center and have continued to grow.  We recognize the unique worth of all God's children regardless of their race, sex or cultural backround.  It is our desire to minister to all children, sharing Christ's love for mankind.

Preschool Program
Our preschool program is for children 3-5 years old.  Here we offer a balance of play and structure that introduces children to the prenumber and language experiences, routines and other concepts that will prepare them for a lifetime of learning enjoyment.  Through discovery learning, hands on activities, literature, science experiments, music, fingerplays and art activities, the children explore a variety of themes throughout the year.  We also have several family interactive activities during the school year which include an Art Show, Christmas Program and Family Potluck/Story Night.

Toddler Program
The toddler program is designed for children 12 months old and walking up to 36 months old.  Two caregivers work with our children encouraging them to explore their world while staying withing the boundaries that make things safe for all our friends.  This is a year round program with full and part-time slots.  We are open five days a week from 7:30AM to 5:30PM with the exception of some holdiays.

Infant Program
Our most recent addition is the infant center which opened in May of 2005.  This bright new area is specially designed to provide for the needs of our youngest children. We have 2 care givers with infants from 6 week to around 15 months old.  This program is offered year round, with full and part time slots available.
