Community United Methodist Preschool
Class Schedules
Preschool classes begin the Tuesday following Labor Day, and end the Thursday prior to Memorial Day. Class times are 8:30am-11:30am. Afternoon sessions will only be scheduled when all morning sessions are full, and there are a minimum number of students interested in an afternoon session. Classroom doors open at 8:25am. Parents needing an earlier drop off or later pick up time may sign up for up for those options when enrolling.
Teachers welcome parents visiting the classrooms. However, we do request no visits during the first month of school. This allows the children to become comfortable and independent in our classroom and with our schedule. In addition, visitors are limited to adult family members. State licensing guidelines do not allow for visiting siblings or other children.
Parent-Teacher conferences are held in the fall and the spring of the year, but parents may request a conference at any time throughout the year.
