New Life UMC Preschool

Hanging around with friends is not only fun but also develops hand-eye coordination, safely encourages risk-taking and overcoming obstacles, builds confidence, strength, and problem solving skills, promotes taking turns, and so much more!

Happy Valentine’s Day!❤️

Our “tuff tray” is an invitation to open-ended play experiences. Children explore and learn about the world through their senses while playing collaboratively and developing social and language skills. Learning through play is what children do best!

Winter fun!

Light ‘em up! Old Christmas tree lights can become science lessons.
