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 Christian, nurturing environment in which to grow and discover new things. We strive to develop the whole child: physically, spiritually, socially, intellectually, and emotionally.
Chapin UMC Preschool is offering 2017 summer day camps for children age 2 years through rising Kindergarteners. The camps will run from 8:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. on the following dates: July 11-13, July 18-20, and July 25-27. Children will bring a bag lunch and enjoy a variety of theme-related activities that are meant to be enjoyable and engaging. You are able to register your child for one, two, or all three sessions. To register, please fill out the attached form and return it, along with the applicable fees, to the church office. Your child’s spot is reserved upon receipt of these items. Space is limited. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mary Catherine Horne (mary@chapinumc.com or 803-345-2801).

MMO children participate in generous portions of free play and enjoy snacks, as well.
In addition to normally scheduled activities such as circle time, table time, recess, snacks, music, and art, our preschoolers participate in these other activities:
Chapel: Once weekly children age 2 – 4 gather together in our Fusion Center where they hear a brief, age-appropriate children’s message from one of our CUMC Staff members. Chapel time also includes singing and prayer.
Library Reading Day: Once monthly, our local librarian comes to CUMC Pre School to read, sing, and move with our preschoolers.
