Welcome to McKendree UMC Preschool

At McKendree UMC Preschool, we strongly believe in treating every child with respect, value, and encouragement to explore and learn about the world around them. Our preschool offers a safe and nurturing Christian environment where children can develop their social, physical, emotional, and spiritual selves. God created each child uniquely! We are proud to be an inclusive school that welcomes every child regardless of their background.

We offer a structured curriculum for each age group that covers cognitive and language skill development, fine and gross motor skills, social and emotional development, as well as spiritual growth through Bible stories, songs, and verses.
