Welcome to UUMP
A play-based preschool where every child belongs.
University United Methodist Preschool is a ministry of University United Methodist Church and an affirming Christian school for two-, three-, and four-year-olds. Children of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome, and we are committed to serving families from traditionally marginalized groups equitably.
How Children Learn Here
Academics are woven into play in every classroom. Children build friendships, express their feelings, think independently, and solve problems, all while taking an active role in their own learning. Through phonics and whole language, hands-on math, social studies, and science experiments, they gain a strong foundation in reading, writing, math, and science, along with a love of books.

Governance
A Board of Directors oversees UUMP, working under the University United Methodist Church Council and accountable to the church’s Staff Parish Relations Committee. The Board sets policies that clarify roles, expectations, and accountability. Our Preschool Director leads day-to-day operations.
