Marshall United Methodist Preschool
Curriculum
Our Preschool curriculum is thematic in nature and faith based. We present it with a multi-sensory, multi-level, hands-on approach in an age appropriate manner. We provide a variety of enriching activities including a weekly chapel, library, art, and music.

2's Classroom
Our 2-year old classroom focuses on play-based learning to help children develop the confidence and social skills needed for problem-solving and communication. Through positive peer and adult interactions, students will learn to communicate basic needs and feelings. Students will focus on nursery rhymes and story integration in addition to basic color and shape recognition and counting to five. This is a student's first introduction to school, and our goal is for it to be a positive experience.
