For Parents

You belong here — and so does your child.

Whether you're just starting to explore your options or you're already part of our preschool family, this page is for you. At First United Methodist Preschool, we believe the relationship between home and school is one of the most important partnerships in a child's early life. We're so glad you're here.

Getting to Know Us

FUMC Preschool is more than a place to drop off your child — it's a community rooted in love, curiosity, and faith. Our teachers bring warmth and intention to every classroom, and our program is designed to nurture the whole child: socially, emotionally, spiritually, and academically.

We welcome families of all backgrounds and beliefs. Our doors are open to everyone, and our hearts are too.

Stay Connected

We know that staying in the loop makes all the difference. Here's how we keep our families connected:

ProCare — Our school management app keeps you up to date on daily check-ins and check-outs, communications from your child's teacher, and important school announcements. If you need help getting set up, reach out to the office and we'll walk you through it.

Instagram — Follow us at @fumcpreschoolchulavista for a peek into everyday moments at school: art projects, outdoor play, chapel highlights, and more. It's one of our favorite ways to share the joy happening in our classrooms.

Email & Office — For anything that needs a more personal touch, we're always just an email or phone call away.

Events & Community

Some of our most cherished moments happen when our school community comes together. Throughout the year, we host events that bring families, staff, and our broader church community closer — from seasonal celebrations and family nights to our annual Golf Tournament & Silent Auction fundraiser, which helps make our programs possible.

Keep an eye on your ProCare notifications and our Instagram for upcoming event announcements, or reach out to the office to get on our mailing list.

We're Here for You

Parenting is one of the most meaningful — and sometimes most overwhelming — things you'll ever do. We see you, and we're in your corner. If you ever have questions, concerns, or just want to check in, please don't hesitate to reach out.
