Our Purpose

The purpose of our preschool is to provide a Christian outreach program for our church members and our community. It is our desire to provide opportunities for total growth for the child. This encompasses the child s spiritual, emotional, social, mental, and physical well being. Our school looks at each child as an individual and strives to help each one develop a healthy self-concept in a safe environment.

The early childhood years are the most formative years. The child reaches out to the world in a constant act of discovery. During these growing year, Clemmons United Methodist Preschool seeks to:

    1. Enrich the child's discovery
    2. Provide the child with a wide variety of learning experiences
    3. Channel the child meaningfully while nurturing their imagination and sense of wonder
    4. Surround the child with love and security

At our school, we feel that play is an important part of a child's world where it is often his or her prime educator. A child needs opportunity for play that is active and quiet, spontaneous and planned, indoors and outdoors, and done alone and with peers.

We feel a child learns best by doing. The classroom is arranged in interest centers so the child is free to explore, discover, and participate in a wide variety of activities. Time for artistic and music expression is valuable in the child's development. Children learn from experiences that allow them to express their ideas and feelings. 

Schedule

The preschool is in session from 9:00 - 12:00. Our teachers will begin unloading threes through Pre-Kindergarten on the breezeway side at 9:00 AM. No child may ever enter the building unattended. Each child must have a teacher or guardian bring them into the building.
