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 was to provide a nurturing, safe and trustworthy environment, one in which each child could grow and develop to his or her own potential. The program is licensed by the Department of Children and Family Services and is accredited by the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
