Gilbert Preschool is a ministry of First United Methodist Church of Gilbert. Our Christian-based preschool integrates faith with early childhood education principles. We offer an enriching, nurturing setting that includes letter recognition, the joy of books, music, math, and multi-sensory activities.  Gilbert Preschool has been part of the community for over twenty years, encouraging children to know they are precious, loved, creative and meant to be curious.     

God has created each child with unique abilities, special talents and individual needs. We believe that each child should be provided an opportunity to develop and thrive as they explore the wonders of childhood.  Our highly qualified teachers foster development through social/emotional expression, language, music, and creative play.  .

Our Preschool will encourage your child to develop spiritually, emotionally, socially, mentally and physically. This Preschool welcomes students of any race, color, nationality, religious or ethnic origin.  We are all God’s children, come learn and play with us! 

“You shall teach these words to your children, speaking of them when you sit in your house when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.” Deuteronomy 11:19
