about us

Madison Street UMC Preschool is a play based learning experience for children ages 1 thru 4 with emphasis on play and its social aspects. This is accomplished through creative art, on site "field trips", supervised play, integrated literacy, cooking and other activities. Classes are held on Tuesday and Thursday from 9 a.m. – 2 p.m.  Our annual tuition rate is $1,440 per child.  That is payable in three ways:  one full payment, two semester payments (due in August and January) of $720, or eight monthly payments of $180.  There is a supply fee of $60. 

 

At Madison Street Preschool the curriculum and activities are geared to the different age levels so that your child will have a positive, rewarding experience. We offer an experienced, qualified, loving staff with an excellent teacher-student ratio, where children learn about shapes, colors, letters, numbers and other important fundamentals while playing and having fun. Music, artwork, story-time, on-site field trips, and many other special activities offer the children opportunities to interact with others, to listen and follow directions, to share, to cooperate, to grow in self-control, and to learn about themselves and the world in which they live. We follow a curriculum designed specifically for each age group. Weekly Chapel, music and Spanish class provide enrichment and time to explore different methods of learning.  Your child will be having fun and learning the tools needed to excel into elementary school.  Madison Street Preschool has created a legacy of learning, loving and growing in our community since 1971.  Schedule a tour today to learn why we love what we do!
