The Village Pre-School was started in 1971, as a non-religious outreach program of The Bethel United Methodist Church to serve the families and children of Bethel and surrounding areas. The Village Pre-School has grown and changed to meet the ever-changing needs of our children. We are proud of the Village Pre-School, its national accreditation, and its accomplishments over the past 41 years of educating your children and ours.

Our mission is to provide a high quality, developmentally appropriate, early childhood program and to educate children in a positive emotional and social environment that is creative and cognitively stimulating while supporting each child\'s individual culture.

Programs:
The Three-Year-Old Program:
As this may be your child\'s first experience in a school setting, we try to make it as secure and enjoyable as possible. This will hopefully ease the necessary transition from home to the outside world. Social interaction through play is emphasized.

The Four-Year-Old Program:
The purpose of this program is to encourage personality development through individual and group activities. This is achieved by providing time for play and social interaction. Activities are designed to encourage growth in fine and gross motor skills. This play-based program allows for the natural development of your child\'s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical skills.

The Four-Day Pre-K Program:
We are offering this exciting program for all students that are eligible to enter kindergarten, but choose to have another year in pre-school. This small class offers individualized teaching and attention for kindergarten preparation. The Pre-K class emphasizes math, science, writing and reading readiness skills. This program includes Lunch Bunch.

The Enrichment Program:
A one-day Enrichment program is available in conjunction with the four-year-old classes. We continue to encourage individual and group activities through play, planned activities and social interaction. Emphasis will be placed on developing organizational, listening, comprehension, and sequencing skills. Basic concepts in math, science, writing and reading readiness concepts shall be explored. This program includes Lunch Bunch.

Lunch Bunch:
The Lunch Bunch program meets three days per week. Children have the opportunity to bring their lunch, play informally, and focus on specific activities. Enrollment in the morning class means that a child goes from regular class time to lunch bunch at 11:30am - 1:00pm.
