UMC CO-OP PRESCHOOL

The preschool was founded in 1977 by Mt. Zion United Methodist Church. The Mt. Zion United Methodist Co-op Preschool is a non-denominational preschool, where academics and social skills are taught in a loving, Christian environment. Each child will grow spiritually, socially, physically, creatively and academically.

You must physically turn in the registration form and pay the registration fee to reserve your spot.  No information can be taken over the phone (except to be put on a waiting list).

When enrollment is full, parents go on a waiting list and are called as an opening is available and the registration fee and forms are turned in and paid to hold their spot.

Office hours are Monday – Friday, 8:30 – Noon – 217-864-4813
