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

It was such a wonderful week back in preschool after being out for two full weeks. Being able to celebrate Valentine’s Day with our friends made it that much sweeter!

Parents please check your Group Me for important updates. See you all next Monday Morning.

What a difference a few days can make! We started the week off with chilly temps & snow on the playground but ended the week soaking up the warm sunshine & enjoying extended time on the playground.

Good morning parents and families,
We truly wanted to make today happen for both our students and teachers, but the Lord reminded us again last night that He is in control and His plans are always better than ours.

With the amount of fresh snow we received here in Elkin overnight, out of an abundance of caution and concern for everyone’s safety, Elkin FUMC Preachool will be closed today.

Please give those little ones extra hugs from us and let them know how much we miss them. Thank you for your understanding.

(This video was taken about Midnight last night near Ingles Grocery Store. It sure is beautiful while its coming down. )

Good Sunday Afternoon!
I hope you all are staying warm and cozy today. I wanted to remind you that our preschool follows Elkin City Schools for closings and delays. Over the next few days, please be sure to look for Elkin City Schools in the closing and delay notifications. I will also attach a copy of our inclement weather policy from the handbook as a reminder.

Tomorrow, Monday, January 26th, Elkin FUMC Preschool will be closed.

We would love to see your snow pictures! Please share them with us below in the comments. The teachers and I would love to see all the smiling faces, and I know the students will enjoy seeing their friends too. Stay dry and warm!

Don't forget, Preschool will be closed tomorrow.

Christmas break was wonderful, but we were all ready to be back! What a great week at preschool.

Each year is different, and you never quite know how the transition back will go, but we were greeted with lots of happy smiles and big hugs. We celebrated a few birthdays and welcomed a couple of new faces.

The Lord continued to bless us with beautiful weather, allowing us to spend plenty of time outside catching up with friends. Some classes even got to play in the snow and make… well, melted snowmen! ❄️😊
All in all, it truly was a great week.
