About the Provider

Advertisement
The preschool was started in Mrs. Given’s home in Independence 1942 for children of members of Watson Memorial Methodist Church. After several years she out grew her home. The preschool went into the church as a ministry. The church merged and became Christ United Methodist Church. The demand for high quality educational preschool has kept this program one of the oldest and best in the Independence area. Our emphasis through the years has been to continue providing the best quality childcare for the children of our community. They are challenged to learn and grow so that they are ready for kindergarten. The Center has a low child / teacher ratio to allow loving attention for each child. Each classroom has age-appropriate toys, puzzles, books and games to help stimulate learning. The teachers have creative curriculum to help the children with colors, shapes, numbers, writing skills, and cutting with scissors.
