Elkin First United Methodist Church Preschool is dedicated to fostering the growth and development of the whole child—physically, emotionally, socially, cognitively, and spiritually. Guided by our Christian mission, we provide a nurturing environment where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow at their own pace while being supported by highly trained, compassionate educators. Our developmental goals include:

💛 progress in all areas of early childhood development while recognizing each child’s individuality.
💛 with families to support a shared responsibility for education and well-being.
💛 active family and community involvement in each child’s success.
💛 play-based learning as an essential instructional strategy.
💛 safe, clean, and caring classrooms that foster creativity and curiosity.
💛 children for a confident and successful transition to kindergarten. We believe that every child is a unique creation of God and is deeply loved. Our daily activities reflect this belief through Bible stories, scripture memorization, songs of praise, prayers, and blessings. The loving example of Christian living—demonstrated by our staff—is an integral part of the curriculum. All teachers at EFUMC Preschool are trained in Early Childhood Education, CPR, and First Aid, ensuring both a high standard of care and quality instruction. Program Options

We had such a special week at preschool as we learned and reflected on the true meaning of Easter—celebrating our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We talked about how He entered Jerusalem, welcomed and praised by the people, fully knowing the sacrifice that was to come, and how He became the true Lamb given for us all.

As our students discovered the beauty of the Easter story, we also shared in so much joy and laughter—spending time outside, playing games, exploring through science, learning new things, and of course, enjoying our Easter Egg Hunt. It was a week full of meaning, growth, and sweet moments together.

Good Morning Parents and Families!

This is a friendly reminder that we will be having our Easter Egg Hunt today!

We will be spending a good portion of our day outside, so please dress your child in cool, comfortable clothing and tennis shoes.

With the warmer temperatures today, we encourage you to send protein-based snacks such as fruits and vegetables (rather than sweets or sugary treats), along with plenty of water to help keep everyone feeling their best.

Some suggestions are:
Crackers + cheese
Turkey or ham roll-ups (no bread needed!)
Mini sandwich halves (turkey, cheese, or peanut butter)
Pair a protein + fruit/veggie for longer-lasting energy
Avoid heavy sweets (they’ll crash fast in the heat)

We are looking forward to a fun-filled day and can’t wait to see everyone soon!
— Mrs. Kristi

It’s been a wonderful and busy week here at preschool! Spring is officially here, and we are soaking up every bit of it. ☀️🌸

We’ve been outside exploring, building crosses as we begin to reflect on Easter and celebrate our risen Savior, searching for violet flowers to remind us of our color of the month and that we all belong to God’s family, and of course, basking in the warm sunshine together.

There’s just something special about this season—new life, fresh beginnings, and little hearts learning big truths. 💜

“See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we would be called children of God; and in fact we are.” – 1 John 3:1

✨ Kinetic Sand & Spoon Donations Needed! ✨

Does your child have a tub of kinetic sand sitting around at home and no longer being used?

We have several classrooms that LOVE using it in their sensory centers, and we would be so grateful for any donations!

We are also in need of plastic spoons for our classrooms—we seem to go through them three times faster than forks!

If you have any items you’d like to pass along, we would happily take them off your hands and put them to great use.

Thank you so much for your continued support of our preschool! 💛

Happy Birthday, Ms. Alexis! 🎉

Alexis works alongside Mrs. Maegan Woodie and Mrs. Maegan Warren in our Baby and Toddler classrooms. This is her first official year on staff, but she has faithfully volunteered with us for the past several years.

Ms. Alexis has such a quiet, sweet spirit that the children naturally flock to her. She brings a sense of calm to the classroom that you don’t even realize you need until she’s gone.

She loves the Lord and seeks His will in all things. What a true blessing she has been to all of us this year at Elkin FUMC Preschool—we are so thankful for everything she does!
