 Spring Valley United Methodist Church Preschool, started in 1964, has a long history of teaching and mentoring young children. We are accredited by NACCP - The National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs, www.naccp.org. We are licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services Child Care Licensing Division. Our program provides a strong preschool education and care in a nurturing Christian environment, dedicated to guiding each child to become the unique child God credited him or her to be. Our preschool welcomes children and their families regardless of language, class, culture, race, religion or family structure. The preschool is a mission of SVUMC, an extension of the church's ministry with children and their families.
Registration for the upcoming school year begins in February (for classes which begin with the new school year in the fall). We use a tiered registration process. Application forms will be available beginning the week of January 25th on the website under the tuition and forms tab, and also in the school office and church office. These must be returned to the school by 3pm, Thursday February 11.
Class assignments are made based on a child's age on September 1st. Currently, we offer the following classes:

It is open to all Moms from Spring Valley United Methodist Church Preschool, and exists solely to encourage and support mothers of young children! Typical meeting includes lots of laughter, comforting fellowship, scriptural teaching, and practical pointers for making it through those "challenging phases." Contact Shannon Vowell at
for more information and to reserve free childcare.

All of the teaching staff are experienced, degreed and have the ability to relate to young children and their parents, as well as find pleasure in teaching young children. Each year each of our teachers receives a minimum of 15 hours of continuing education training.
Concepts and skills are taught through the use of learning centers and circle time. Lesson plans are created around developmentally appropriate thematic units and include the following:
- Early literacy - reading and writing skills
- Creative arts - art and music
- Mathematics
- Science
- Social Studies
- Gross and fine motor skills
- Health and safety
Our goal is to help your child know that school is a positive place to be and a place where he/she can experience success. We want all children to leave our school with a positive attitude toward learning.
