Purpose
The purpose of First United Methodist Children’s Christian Academy is to create an environment of discovery for young children in a developmentally appropriate and Christian atmosphere. A not-for-profit MINISTRY of FUMC, our Children’s Christian Academy has been created to offer high-quality child development programs through a weekday service ministry to children and their families; to provide the finest developmental foundation in a context of Christian faith and caring.
"Train children in the right way, and when old, they will not stray." (Proverbs 22:6)
Teaching [children] to begin their lives in the Spirit of Christianity ... should not only be more, but a hundred times more, regarded [than] ... all things else." -Rev. John Wesley (founder of the United Methodist Church)
Philosophy
At FUMC. we believe that a high quality Christian preschool program enhances a child’s self-esteem and promotes and interest in learning. Our program promotes the spiritual, physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development of young children. We believe that children learn best through play and active investigation of their world. Therefore, child-initiated, child-directed, teacher supported play is an essential part of Children’s Christian Academy.
