As a church, our mission statement is 'To know Christ and to make Him known.' That takes on a special meaning for those of us in Children's Ministry. We want to teach because of the difference Christ has made in our lives. We've been transformed by our relationship with God, and we want to share that with our children. We want to help them become rooted in their identity as children of God, and to experience the freedom that comes with accepting Christ. In this way, we can prepare them for whatever the future may bring.  Providing a safe, loving and nurturing environment for your child is the utmost purpose of our preschool at Simpsonwood.

Simpsonwood UMC Preschool does not discriminate in its enrollment based on race, color, sex, creed, ethnic or religious background. Children with mild physical handicaps and/or developmental delays are enrolled at the discretion of the Director and the staff.

The first years of a child's life are the most important. Never again will he learn as many things as rapidly as in his first six years of life. The environment and the adults who surround the child during these years become the teachers of the child. Children learn by modeling, observing, and doing. The curriculum for the early years must be based on the understanding, by both the parents and teachers, of how children grow and develop and how they learn. Learning develops as sequentially as growth and the pace is an individual one. Parents and teachers who know and recognize these developmental patterns can effectively meet the needs of children.
