Because of health regulations, our in-person tour opportinites are limited. As an exciting alternative, we welcome you to take a virtual tour of our school and classrooms! This is a wonderful preschool. Parents help out once or twice per month which helps reduce the cost, and it's so fun to be in the classroom with your child!
The staff are fantastic and really have what's best for the kids in mind. Very play-centered which research shows is the best academic stimulation for this age group. I would recommend this preschool to any one in a heartbeat!. There is nothing more comforting than to hear affirmations from other happy parents!

Who We Are
Report
The First United Methodist Co-op (FUMC) Preschool has provided a high quality, nurturing and professional preschool program for children of the Fort Collins region since 1965. The strength of the FUMC Preschool program, the quality and commitment of our teachers and the involvement of the preschool parents, are the anchors that compel families to return year after year.
Lunch Bunch
Report
Extend your child's preschool day to 1:00pm with Lunch Bunch offered on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays! Your child will have the option of staying at preschool until 1:00pm. Lunch Bunch is available on a first-come, first-serve basis for the first 20 children and costs $8.00 per visit. The children will be transferred from their preschool class at 12:00 and served a sack lunch, including drink, which the parents provide.
Nursery
Report
Two separate entities provide child care for siblings when a parent is working in the classroom - FUMC Nursery and Parent's Day Out. On Mondays and Wednesdays, child care is provided for younger siblings by the First United Methodist Church nursery. The hours are from 8:45 AM-12:00 PM. FUMC nursery is always staffed with at least two caregivers.
Academics
Report
In our preschool classrooms, we strive to create an atmosphere of stimulation, opportunity, and discovery through curriculum planning. This plan provides a developmental and play based approach to the child's social, emotional, intellectual, physical and spiritual development. Readiness skills in these areas are fostered as the child plays and works with other children.
Co-Op Learning
Report
Parents and teachers of FUMC Preschool work together to provide a quality, developmentally appropriate preschool program for children. Parents assist as classroom helpers, serve on committees, provide nutritional snacks for the classrooms and may serve on the Parent Advisory Board. Parents have the opportunity to work directly with preschool children in a formal educational atmosphere and under the supervision of trained professionals.
