Introduction/Description:
For nearly 35 years, Trinity United Methodist Preschool (TUMPS) has provided a loving and nurturing environment to meet children’s spiritual, social, emotional, intellectual and physical needs.
TUMPS is a play-based preschool. Play enables children to make sense of their world — to develop social understanding, expand their language skills, and learn basic math concepts. At TUMPS, children mature from solitary play, to parallel play to cooperative group play. These are important social stages for later life challenges.
TUMPS is a Christian preschool open to families of all faiths. We lead children in a simple prayer each day. We discuss the wonders of God’s Creation and how we can respect it and each other.

Childcare Philosophy:
Trinity Church is privileged to provide support for the TUMPS program. We warmly welcome all TUMPS families to participate in the worship, education, fellowship and service in the life of our congregation. Whether or not at Trinity, each TUMPS family is encouraged to be active in the life of the church of its choice.
In the TUMPS statement of purpose, the preschool shall endeavor to meet the individual needs of children in the following ways: socially, emotionally, intellectually, and physically. We believe that effective educating and nurturing is a lifelong challenge. As preschool is probably your child's first educational experience, we have written some goals or expectations for his/her early childhood school years.
TUMPS will provide opportunities for each child:
