The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it, the world and those that live in it.
Overview
The First United Methodist Preschool / We-e Care Program was formed as a ministry to the community in 1973 and 1974 respectively. The program’s purpose and ministry is to provide a nurturing, safe, and trustworthy environment, one in which each child can grow and develop to their full potential. The program is licensed by the Department of Children and Family Services.
