First Daycare 

WHAT DO WE OFFER?

Daycare is available weekly in the lower level of First UMC.  We are accepting enrollments. We are licensed to serve 2 – 10 year olds with before and after school  age care, including days when area schools are not in session.

On June 8, 2009, First Preschool began operating a daycare for children 2 – 5years olds.  Over the summer, the basement level of First UMC has been active Monday – Friday from 6:15 am. to 5:30 p.m. with children.  Our daycare is staffed by licensed teachers who provide a warm caring Christian atmosphere in a child friendly environment.  Church members and the community are welcome to check out our programs and facilities. Schedules include full time, part time, and hourly to meet the needs of working parents.  All children in daycare must pay a registration fee and submit completed forms before attending. Fees are paid by check or cash prior to the week attending.

Breakfast and snacks are provided by parents on a rotational basis.  Lunch is provided by Katering 4 Kids vending, which is included in daycare fees.

HOW DO WE OPERATE?

Doors open at 6:15 a.m. and breakfast is served at 8:00 a.m. followed by a relaxed play time until 9:00 a.m.

Two year olds will continue with their care-givers and take part in age appropriate activities while the older children are away. Lunch will be served at 11:00 a.m. followed by a rest time.

Fees cover programming into Little Lambs, which operates September – May.

Three year olds will transition over to the preschool where they will join their teachers for their 9 – 11:30 session of preschool. Four and five year olds will go to their preschool classroom for their 9 – 1:00 session.  Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m. for both classes.

After the preschool program, the 3's and 4's will transition into after school care with their care-givers.  Activities will include, but not be limited to; rest time, afternoon snack, free play, small group activities and outdoor play when weather permits. Pick- up is dependent on parent's needs. Our doors close at 5:30 p.m.
