A couple of the teachers started a Preschool Facebook page to help us all stay connected and share resources, and Children's Ministries also has a page Children's Facebook. Please check them out! We hope this will be helpful to you especially during these next few weeks.

Check FUMC website and our Facebook page often for updates.

Update 4/02/2020

Dear Parents: First of all, I hope each family is doing well in these trying times.  Yesterday afternoon, Governor Polis had a press conference and announced that the suspension of in-person learning across the state be extended to April 30.  This is to align with the President’s guidelines set earlier this week.  We will continue to help attempt to slowdown the potential spread of the COVID-19. Currently, our return date is Monday, May 4.  If we can return on May 4, we will, but if the return date gets pushed back any further, we will not continue school until next year. 

I continue to remain in contact with our nurse and get updates from our local, state and federal agencies.  I will keep you up-dated.  Again, our goal is to protect the safety of our children, families and staff.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me, [email protected] .  Thank you for your understanding and support.  Stay safe and be healthy.

Many Blessings,
Dianna Flaherty
FUMC Preschool Director

Update 3/30/2020

To our current parents:  Due to the fact that we are closed until April 17 because of COVID-19, your April’s tuition will be prorated.  For any family that signed up with the ACH (automatic withdraw authorization form), there is a stop payment for this month.  If you have any questions, please email me at [email protected].  Please stay safe and healthy, hopefully we will see you soon. 

Be strong and courageous.  Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for – GOD IS WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO. – Joshua 1:9

Many Blessings,

Dear Parents,

Kaplan Early Learning Company sent me an email of some different resources that I thought I would share with you to do with your children to help keep them occupied while we are all at home.  I hope you try some and enjoy it.  Thinking of you, Dianna
