Preschool Director's Message

Nina Burrows, Preschool Director

Learning should be fun—especially in preschool! My job as preschool director is to help create a safe, loving school environment for you and your children. Our qualified, caring teachers help to make this easy! They work with students individually, and design learning environments tailored to children’s abilities and interests. Our families are so supportive, and the strong collaboration between home and school distinguishes our program.

Before becoming Preschool Director, back in 2007, I worked as a 4’s teacher, first grade teacher, textbook editor, and PDO Director. I have a Master’s degree in Elementary Reading, but still learn from the children.

My door is always open to you, whether your child is a current, past, or future student at FUMC. My daughters thrived while they were here at preschool, and I strive to offer the same experience to you and your children.

My Best,

Nina

The Creative Curriculum and Enrichment

The Creative Curriculum is our blueprint for planning and implementing a developmentally-appropriate program. Its effectiveness

in helping children acquire social competence and the

skills they need to succeed as learners is well-documented.

We have incredible enrichment programs woven into our curriculum. Depending on the child's age and class, they will attend: music, soccer, science, art, Stretch-n-Grow and Spanish, which are all included with your tuition.
