The Preschool has been a mission of the Whitehouse United Methodist Church since 1969 when a committee of Church women determined there was a need for a safe, secure environment for the community’s youngest members to grow, learn and play. We are happy to continue their mission for the past 40 years, growing and changing as a reflection of the growth and change that has taken place both in our community and as a society. <br/> <br/>What has remained constant over these past 40 years is the dedication of the staff to the growth and development of the individual child entrusted to our care. We continue to remain one of the few traditional non-profit preschools in the area. Our close daily interaction with families allows us to build dynamic of communication between home and school, thereby providing our children with a positive introduction to their first school experience.
