Welcome to Bethlehem First Preschool and Kindergarten!
Welcome to our Preschool! We are delighted that you are considering being part of this special community where children are loved, nurtured, and encouraged to grow. Our dedicated teachers and staff are passionate about creating a safe, joyful, and enriching environment where young children can learn, explore, and discover the world around them. As a ministry of Bethlehem First UMC, the preschool is one of many ways we seek to support families and help children grow in knowledge, character, and faith. We invite you not only to partner with us in your child’s early education, but also to explore the many ministries, events, and opportunities our church offers for children and families throughout the year. We look forward to walking alongside your family during these important early years.
Grace and Peace,

Dear Families,
Welcome to Bethlehem First Preschool & Kindergarten! It is a joy and blessing to welcome you to our school community. At Bethlehem First, we believe that every child is a gift from God, and we are honored to partner with families as children learn, grow, and discover the world around them.
Our mission is to provide a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where young learners feel loved, safe, and inspired. Through play, exploration, and faith-based learning, we encourage each child to grow academically, socially, and spiritually while building a strong foundation for the future.
We are grateful for the opportunity to share this important stage of development and thank you for trusting us with your child’s education and care. We look forward to a wonderful year of learning, laughter, and growing together in faith.
Blessings,
Lizzy Sheffield
Director
