Beaver Ridge UMC Parent's Day Out & Preschool

09/14/2026

Don’t miss the annual fall flea market at Beaver Ridge. Instead of setting up a yard sale in your driveway, why don’t you join us for this fantastic event? Set up in the front parking lot for just $15 and watch all the traffic stop by to shop.

Spots are filling up! Sign up soon before spaces are full. Visit this link or email [email protected] to sign up https://forms.gle/rs3Gs5dT6SKinbR58

If you’re cleaning out your house and you’re looking for somewhere to donate items, we would gladly take them. All donated items will be sold by Beaver Ridge Preschool and proceeds will go into the playground fund.

Donations can be dropped off Monday thru Thursday between 9:30am and 12:30pm at 7753 Oak Ridge Hwy.

**Sellers keep all proceeds from the day. The only payment we ask for is the $15 parking space reservation. Sellers must bring their own tables, chairs, canopies, etc as they need. All items must fit between the lines of a standard sized parking space and seller vehicles must be parked behind the building for the sale. Pull through spaces are available upon request.**

The flea market is coming back!
September 26 | 7am to 1pm
7753 Oak Ridge Hwy

Mark your calendars and start cleaning out your house to set up at the Beaver Ridge Community Flea Market. This event is a fundraiser benefiting the Beaver Ridge Playground Fund to help us remodel our playground and it is a huge event for sellers and shoppers every year.

If you are interested in renting a space to sell, follow this link to reserve a space. Spaces are limited and fill up quickly so don't miss your chance to sign up! https://forms.gle/rs3Gs5dT6SKinbR58

If you are not interested in selling but you have items you would like to get rid of, we are accepting donations of items that the preschool can sell. Any money made from items donated to the preschool will go to the playground fund.

**If you sign up to sell, you keep all of the profit that you make. The only thing due to the preschool from the sellers is the $15 per parking space**

Did you know? The 2026/2027 school year will mark 63 years since Beaver Ridge PDO & Preschool opened its doors with its founding class of 25 students.

In 63 years, Beaver Ridge has seen immense growth. We have proudly served hundreds of children and their families over these years. These days, we see previous students bringing their children, or sometimes grandchildren, to attend the same program they attended as a child.

If you have been to Beaver Ridge, tell us about it on this post. Maybe you or your child attended, maybe you worked at Beaver Ridge or helped as a substitute, maybe you dropped off your grandchild every day they attended. Share a memory, tell us a story about your teacher or your friends, share a photo of you have one, or even let us know what you’re up to now! We’d love to hear from you!

Bring your stuffed animal for a stuffy sleepover!

Put on your PJs and head to the preschool on June 22 at 6pm for story time and stuffy drop off. After story time, tuck your stuffed animal in for the night so they can sleep...or maybe not.

All stuffies will go home with pictures from their adventure and a report card to let you know how they did. They will then be available for pickup from 9am to 1pm on the 23rd, 24th, and 25th.

Your child does not have to be currently enrolled at Beaver Ridge for their stuffy to come to the sleepover! Kids of all ages are welcome to participate. All stuffed animals, baby dolls, action figures, Barbie dolls, and even your favorite dump truck is welcome.

If you'd like to come, register so that we know how may stuffed animals to expect. You can use this link https://forms.gle/BQRJZr4vKhVUrJxW7 or email [email protected]
