BUMP!

Boone United Methodist Preschool is a morning program for children ages 1 through 5 years old. We provide experiences for children in an environment which encourages the child to ask questions, explore, experiment, make friends, and be aware that every person has value as a child of God. Our program includes a balance of guided play activities, creative art, outdoor play, stories, dramatic play, science, group activities and more.

The values we share with our preschoolers include:

We are created in the image of God.
God loves us.
We can love God.
We can love others.
God is always with us.
God sees us all of the time.
We can trust God.
God’s world is good.
Jesus loves us.
Jesus taught us about God’s love.
Jesus is a friend.
The Bible is the book of our faith.

We use weekly themes to teach age appropriate skills, and we incorporate Christian values in our daily lessons. As a school committed to using developmentally appropriate practices, learning experiences are meant to match the child’s developing abilities, as well as to provide challenging opportunities. Social skills are nurtured throughout the preschool day.

Our Parents Morning Out Program is intended for children who will be one year old by Aug. 31. It is designed to allow parents to begin the separation process with their children in a safe, clean, caring and stimulating environment.

The Boone United Methodist Preschool Transitional Kindergarten program is designed to meet the needs of children who have reached kindergarten age and would benefit from an additional preschool year before kindergarten. It does not replace kindergarten, nor does it question a child’s intelligence. We believe that because children are unique and reach developmental milestones at different rates, chronological age is just one factor in determining whether a child is ready for kindergarten.

Staff is committed to providing a safe, nurturing learning environment for your children. Our goal is to guide and encourage your child to learn to love and to love to learn. Our staff members receive continuing education each year. Each staff member is CPR/First Aid trained and has undergone a background check prior to hiring. We follow the Safe Sanctuary guidelines set forth by the United Methodist Church.

The school year for our preschoolers runs from September to May.

Our hours are 8:30 a.m. until 12:15 p.m., Monday through Friday.

It is expected that 3’s and 4’s will be toilet trained.

Every child must have a physicians health form and certificate of immunization on file by at least 30 days after enrollment.
