The Preschool is a loving place to learn, play and plant seeds of faith.
We are dedicated to providing a loving Christian environment in which children experience positive “hands-on” learning that encourages spiritual, social, intellectual, physical and mental development. Hamilton Mill UMC Preschool is a curriculum-based weekday program for children ages 12 months – 5 years of age. Our preschool has been growing strong for 23 years!
