I have two children at FUMCN (one in the preschool and one in the Young 5s program). We have been extremely impressed with both programs. The teachers are excellent and my children love being a part of the FUMCN community. As a parent I have been impressed with all facets of FUMCN. We live closer to (and even have previously attended) other co-ops, however FUMCN is worth the extra drive. It has been a gift to our kids and my family!

We love FUMCN! My kids have so many fun memories of preschool... my fourth grader still talks about her favorite times! My third child goes there now and loves it. Its a beautiful space to learn and a convenient location with an easy circle drive drop off and pick up right downtown! Ive also loved getting to know other parents with kids the same age as mine.

My family cant say enough great things about FUMCN! We have loved the teachers and the activities that they facilitate each day. The location is great and makes for some fabulous field trips throughout the year. The fact that the preschool is made up of 3 large rooms is great for giving my son a ton of different choices. With having younger children I feel like you cant beat that they offer sibling care for my daughter on days that I assist in the classroom and that it is just around the corner from the preschool. They have a circle driveway that has been amazing for drop off and pickup which is a life saver with younger children. We seriously have loved our years at FUMCN and cant wait for our daughter to attend!

FUMCN is a great place for our family. The location is perfect, parking is never an issue, the playground is a blast, and the kids go on amazing field trips (e.g. the Big House!). Assisting is lots of fun too :-)

A wonderful, intimate setting with hands-on learning, weekly field trips, developmentally appropriate curriculum. Small classroom size (12 students) with three teachers (one main and two supportive, all masters degree). We highly recommend FUMCN Co-op Young Fives program.

I love how understanding and responsive of each childs personality the co-op is. At 3, my child was into painting, art, and writing mail. At 4, she is all about dramatic play and friends. I encourage her to try the daily activitiy or project, but somedays are head straight for dress up days!

We love our preschool! Our son who is 13 now went to fUMCN and now we are back with our 3 year old daughter. We love the teachers and their creativity and being involved in the classroom is great fun as well.Kirsten Sterken

I am not only one of the teachers at FUMCN, but have been a FUMCN parent, too. Our goal is to make preschool a warm, welcoming start for every child and to prepare them for the future education. As a parent of two, almost three, college-age kids, I can attest -- FUMCNs play-based, child-centered philosophy works!

Amazing teachers, classes, and fellow parents!
