First United Methodist Church

Not a very honest Christian based preschool. I would not recommend sending your child to this preschool. You can tell the teachers have too many kids to a classroom, can not keep up with the kids and do not enjoy their jobs. The smallest thing your child does at the school you will hear about it a million times including text messages at night and text messages on the weekend.nnFor example my 3 year old, who this was his first year ever going to any kind of school or daycare, has a speech disability but understands everything and listens. He is very sweet he just has a hard time talking in full sentences but can communicate. I had chosen to send my son to a Christian based preschool over going through the public school system. Which I was very clear with the Director when I signed him up that he did have a speech delay. Which she told me wouldn’t be a problem at all. Things seemed to be going great for my son until a couple months in when the teacther started to have attitude towards me, when I would come to pick my son up and I finally started to get the feeling my child was not wanted and was being treated poorly.nnI started to feel as the teacher had attitude about my son being in her class, because she had to work a little bit more. She didn’t show it at first but after a couple months started to make it very clear she didn’t like my son with the things she would say to me. The teacther started to over step and send me texts messages at night and on holiday breaks and on the weekends about my choice of sending my son to there over a public one. I went to the Director of the preschool to point blank ask what was going on and if my child was wanted at the school, if not then to let me know because no mother wants to send their child somewhere they are not wanted and getting treated poorly. I explained to her what was going on and we pulled the teacher in the office and all talked about everything, my son was being a normal 3 year old boy who is a busy body and sometimes did need a little bit more redirecting than others but isn’t a bad kid and I explained how upsetting the things she was texting and telling me was. When you send your child to preschool and are paying for them to be taken care of it shouldn’t be stressful and you shouldn’t have to worry about your child or how they are being treated. The teacther apologize and said she would make a effort to stop making me feel like my son was not wanted because he was wanted and wouldn’t text me or call me anymore over it. This was on a Thursday, that I had the meeting with the Director and teacher, my son went halftime 3 days a week. I thought everything was good and so glad we talked and had open communication and that my son was wanted there! Left feeling happy for my child. That following Saturday while My family is out of town I get a 10 page text message from his teacther about once again her concerns when my son hadn’t even been there since we had the meeting!?? Who is going to keep sending their child back to someone who is telling you not to? So that being said I pulled my son and sent the text messages to the Director. Out of all the people she should of understood. I went to her for help and told her what was going on she reassured me it would stop and 2 days later it happens again when my son isn’t even at school the teacther is texting me.nnI paid a $150 registration fee that I knew I probably wouldn’t get back and that’s fine but I feel like it is the right thing to pay back the full 2 weeks that I already paid for that my son wasn’t able to attend because of the issues with his teacher and her making me pull him out in the middle of the month. That being said I do not believe this program is honest, caring or has compassion. There should be rules of no harassing or texting the parents outside of school hours unless it is a emergency as parents we have enough stresses in our life to deal with so sending your child to preschool or daycare shouldn’t be one of them.

Thankful for the kindness they showed helping me get my car back on the road.
