First United Methodist Preschool - Chula Vista

Is your little one ready for preschool? 🌟

It's one of the questions we hear most from our FUMP families — and the answer isn't always as simple as age!

Every child is unique, and readiness looks different for every kiddo. Swipe through to learn what signs to look for and how to support your child wherever they are in their journey. 💕

We're always here to help guide you through it! Feel free to drop your questions in the comments below or send us a DM. 👇

We’re so grateful to the Chula Vista Fire Department for bringing one of their rigs to our preschool today! 🚒

The kids met real firefighters and learned important fire-safety tips.👩‍🚒 Special thanks to Chula Vista Fire Department Station 4 for coming out!

Our classroom ice cream shop is open for business (make-believe business, that is)! 🍦 How cute is this little installation? We love creating immersive environments for play and learning—these setups help kids scoop up new skills. 😍

Our preschoolers have been loving color spreading — these magical (and delightfully messy) flower creations were so much fun to make! 🌸

Moms

To the families who opened that TK email this week and felt your stomach drop — we see you. 💛

Maybe your child didn't get a spot. Maybe they got placed somewhere that just doesn't feel right. Maybe you're sitting at your kitchen table tonight wondering, now what? 🧠

Here's the good news: There's still a beautiful, joy-filled place for your little one to land!

At First United Methodist Preschool, we believe early learning should feel like coming home — small classes where every child is truly known, teachers who light up when your kiddo walks through the door, and a play-based day full of curiosity, friendship, and faith. 💕

We have spots available for the upcoming school year, and we'd love to meet your family. Come tour the school, peek into our classrooms, and see if it feels like the right fit. No pressure — just an open door and a warm welcome. ☕

✨ Give us a call or visit www.fumccv-preschool.org to schedule your tour today.

Your child's next chapter doesn't have to be Plan B. It might just be the plan you didn't know you were looking for. 🤍

We’ve been a little MIA lately, but we’re still here and going strong. Big projects are brewing behind the scenes and we can’t wait to reveal them to you. ✨

For now, our main focus is wrapping up the year and celebrating our little graduates 🎓

Thanks for your patience and for sticking with us while we finish strong. Expect sneak peeks, updates, and celebration highlights coming soon—can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on! Stay tuned and celebrate with us 🎉👩‍🎓👨‍🎓

🎉 The results are in! 🎉

Thanks to our incredible sponsors, golfers, donors, and volunteers, the First Annual FUMC Preschool Golf Tournament & Silent Auction raised $9,000 for our preschool!
