Elkin First United Methodist Church Preschool

Elkin First United Methodist Church Preschool is dedicated to fostering the growth and development of the whole child—physically, emotionally, socially, cognitively, and spiritually. Guided by our Christian mission, we provide a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace while being supported by highly trained, compassionate educators. Our developmental goals include:

💛 progress in all areas of early childhood development while recognizing each child’s individuality.
💛 with families to support a shared responsibility for education and well-being.
💛 active family and community involvement in each child’s success.
💛 play-based learning as an essential instructional strategy.
💛 safe, clean, and caring classrooms that foster creativity and curiosity.
💛 children for a confident and successful transition to kindergarten. We believe that every child is a unique creation of God and is deeply loved. Our daily activities reflect this belief through Bible stories, scripture memorization, songs of praise, prayers, and blessings. The loving example of Christian living—demonstrated by our staff—is an integral part of the curriculum. All teachers at EFUMC Preschool are trained in Early Childhood Education, CPR, and First Aid, ensuring both a high standard of care and quality instruction. Program Options

Due to the forecast of snow tomorrow, Elkin First United Methodist Church Preschool will be closed. EFUMCP follows Elkin City Schools’ weather policy and safety procedures to ensure the well-being of all our students, families, and staff.

We appreciate your understanding, as many of our teachers will also have their own children home tomorrow, and our priority is to ensure that families and staff can stay safe, warm, and cared for during the day.

We hope you enjoy this unexpected winter break ❄️

Stay safe, have fun, and we look forward to seeing everyone back on Tuesday!

Thank you so much to all our parents, families, and friends who helped contribute to our Penny War Fundraiser. We are so appreciative of each of you and all your support and dedication to our preschool program.

Good evening, parents and families,

Elkin City Schools have announced a 2-hour delay for tomorrow due to the potential for winter weather.
This means Preschool will operate on a 1-hour and fifteen minute delay and will open at 10:15 a.m. The extra 15 minutes allows our teachers time to drop their own children off, make it safely through Elkin’s carlines, and return to the preschool safely in time for our preschool drop off and be fully staffed in each classroom.

If Elkin City Schools changes to a 3-hour delay, Preschool will be closed for the day.
Please still send your child with both snack and lunch, as we will continue with our regular schedule once the day begins.

We will be down two teachers tomorrow morning, which may slow down both morning and afternoon carline. As always, our goal is to move you through the line safely and efficiently; we appreciate your patience.

Weather Reminder:
If it is still raining at drop-off, we will run one carline under the shelter to keep the children dry and warm. This will also slow things down, so please plan accordingly.
Thank you so much for your understanding, flexibility, and continued support. 💛
Stay warm and safe!
— Mrs. Kristi

Ms. Holly and Mrs. Michelle’s Terrific Twos Learning All About Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego!

Today our Terrific Twos learned about three good friends in the Bible named Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

These three friends loved God with all their hearts and always tried to make good choices.

When King Nebuchadnezzar tried to make them participate in the wrong choice, they didn’t give in.

They chose to do what was right and follow the One True God of Heaven and Earth. And even when the king punished them, God protected them and kept them safe.

This story reminds our little ones (and us!) that:
✨ God is always with us and takes care of us.
✨ Even when something seems big or confusing, God knows how to help.
✨ Just like God kept the three friends safe, God takes care of us too!

Happiest of Birthdays to Mr. Caid! We are so incredibly thankful for you and all the joy, patience, and creativity you bring to our preschool each day. Our Fantastic Fours absolutely adore him — from his fun personality, to his silly jokes, to the way he makes every child feel seen and valued. He pours his heart into the classroom, and it shows in the smiles, the laughter, and the confidence our students are growing in each week.
We appreciate you, Mr. Caid — thank you for being such a blessing to our preschool family!
