Van Wert’s First UM Preschool Announces Open House & Registration

For over 50 years, First United Methodist Church Preschool has been a pillar of early childhood education in downtown Van Wert. This Christian-based preschool, serving children ages 3 to 5, is excited to announce its upcoming Open House and ongoing registration for the 2026-2027 school year. “We’re where kids truly love to learn and discover!”

Located conveniently at 113 W. Central Avenue in Van Wert, First UM Preschool is known for its commitment to high-quality education in a nurturing Christian environment. The preschool’s key features include being established and state-licensed, offering a Christian atmosphere, maintaining low student-to-teacher ratios, and employing experienced, licensed teachers. They also provide flexible class options: a 2-day per week class for 3-year-olds and pre-kindergarten options for 3 or 4 days per week.

Families are invited to the Open House on Thursday, March 12, 2026, with two convenient sessions: 10:30-11:30 a.m. or 2:00-3:30 p.m. This is a fantastic opportunity to tour the facilities, meet the dedicated staff, and learn about the curriculum, which follows Ohio Department of Education guidelines. Information packets and 2026-2027 registration will be available.

Financial aid is available, ensuring that a quality early education is accessible. Don’t miss this chance to secure your child’s spot at a preschool where they will grow and thrive!
