The Washington Park UMC Preschool offers a developmentally appropriate play-based learning program. We believe that children are naturally inquisitive and learn best in an environment that nurtures their creativity and curiosity while providing a safe, secure and stimulating place to learn and grow. Our focus is on the whole child – body, soul, and spirit.
Through the development of social, emotional, cognitive and motor domains, each child is encouraged to be his or her own unique individual. The Preschool program shares the mission of WPUMC, which is:
Washington Park United Methodist Church is an inclusive community of faith, accepting people as they are, growing toward fullness of life with God’s creation, through living the teachings of Jesus Christ: Love, Justice, Mission and Hope.

WPUMC Preschool complies with all standards required by the Colorado statute, Rules Regulating Child Care Centers (7.702), set in place by the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Child Care. Each classroom utilizes a developmentally appropriate curriculum that is based upon Jean Piaget’s play-based approach to learning. Children construct knowledge as they play, experience and interact. Our learning plans reflect this play-based philosophy in the areas of emergent math and literacy, science, music, creative movement and art. COVID Closure PolicyClosures Due to COVID-19 (.pdf)
