Philosophy

The Arroyo Grande United Methodist Children's Center is a non-profit organization. We are dedicated to providing a sense of security that nurtures and values each child along with fostering family relationships. It is our goal to offer a developmentally appropriate environment for learning and exploration. While preserving the integrity of our own Christian identity. we respect diverse religions and cultural backgrounds of all people. We hope each family feels welcomed and connected to our preschool.

"Our daughter is so excited to go to school each day. This is our 3rd year here and love the warm, nurturing environment and our daughter has learned so many new things. We are so pleased with the songs, bible stories, and lesson plans. We put our son in the waiting list when he was only 6 months old because we knew he would get such a great experience, too. We also love the 18-month program. It was the biggest decision factor choosing this school." M.W.
