Preschool
Our Mission

Dunwoody United Methodist Preschool provides a comprehensive, Christian education in a loving environment where children are encouraged to develop cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically to their full potential.

 

We use a variety of curriculums to accomplish our cognitive development goals, including Creative Curriculum, Imagine It and Handwriting Without Tears.

 
Our Program

Chapel Time

A developmentally appropriate chapel time, complete with music, prayer and a message from one of our ministerial staff members, is offered each week to our three, four and five year olds.


 

Music Classes

Music with one of our trained music teachers is offered to all children enrolled in our school. During the year all phases of music are covered and children experience many different forms of music. They learn songs, use instruments, play music games. Twice a year we have a music program: at Christmas for threes and fours, and at the end of the year. The major goal of our music program is to expose children to many styles of music, and to encourage a love of music.


 

 

Kindergym

Kindergym, a creative movement class, is offered to twos, threes, fours and fives in our school. The major goals are large motor development and coordination with an emphasis on learning and using locomotor movements.


 

Spanish

This introductory language program is offered to four and five year olds to give them a small view of the diversity of Spanish culture. The children enjoy exploring the Spanish language through age appropriate activities, music, movement and games.


 

Extended Day

An optional time is offered for our two, three, four and five year olds in the afternoon, beginning at 12 p.m. Children may stay for Lunch Bunch until 1:00 p.m.; additional classes in ballet, ball sports, art, language and cooking are available to our three through fives between 1:00 and 2:30 p.m.
