The Haygood UMC Preschool Program began in 1988 as a Mother’s Day Out program. It is a mission of the church for families in the community, providing a safe place to leave their children in an environment dedicated to nurturing children with the love of God.

Our goal is to provide learning experiences for your child that will be diverse, creative, age appropriate, and carefully planned. We encourage development by providing an atmosphere that enables children to explore through curriculum, creativity and socialization.

We believe that children need the opportunity to explore, question, practice and pretend in order to discover the world around them. Play is an important part of the learning process. We encourage this by providing a variety of activities that are challenging and interesting.

Our curriculum is designed by our staff and tailored to the specific needs of our students. We use inspiration from the Creative Curriculum as well as student interests and age-appropriate developmental goals. It supports individual, cognitive, social/emotional and fine/gross motor skill development. Our students are actively engaged in activities that inspire them to be thinkers, inquirers and independent communicators. We support your child through each stage of their development in preparation for Elementary School and a lifetime of learning.

Haygood Preschool has been a Pearl Award School since 2018! We strive to maintain this award through recycling, conservation efforts, crafts, and lessons for our students reinforcing the importance of protecting our environment.

While our Preschool is a ministry of the church, the school is non-denominational in its teachings stressing central truths of the Bible which unite us in community.
