The education and nurture of children is a Biblical command, and the ministries of CUMC honor this command with the utmost care. Our goal at Chapin UMC Preschool is to provide your child with trained, godly teachers and a nurturing, Christian environment allowing children to grow and discover new things. We strive to develop the whole child: physically, spiritually, socially, intellectually, and emotionally.

Classes for the 2018/2019 school year are currently full.  A wait list is available.  The 2018/2019 wait list will expire on the last day of classes, May 22, 2019.
