| The Early Care Center utilizes space in the Education Building at 1st United Methodist Church. A chapel service is held weekly for all preschool children attending the Early Care Center. Children learn to respond to God, become aware of their family's religious heritage (whether Christian, Jewish, or other tradition), and grow in self-esteem and their own spiritual beliefs.
