Program Overview
Bethelview United Methodist Preschool, or BUMP, is a half-day private Christian preschool located west of Cumming, Georgia in Forsyth County. Our mission is to provide an outstanding academic education grounded in Christian love, faith and values. BUMP is open to children of any race, color, ethnic or national origin, ages 12 months through five years of age. Our preschool offers instruction to children at the level most appropriate to their development. We have everything that a larger preschool has to offer--except for the size, which is what our current and former families enjoy most about this "little preschool with the BIG heart".
Our Mission and Vision
The mission of Bethelview United Methodist Preschool is to provide an outstanding academic education grounded in Christian faith and values.
From its beginning as a ministry of the Bethelview United Methodist Church in 1970, Bethelview United Methodist Preschool (BUMP) has been committed to the growth and success of each student. Our educational philosophy stresses the needs of the “whole student” – personal, spiritual and social development, as well as academic excellence. The essence of our mission is found in Proverbs 22:6: “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Not only do we recognize each child is a gift from God but that each student is an individual with individual gifts. Learning capacity is based in part upon growth and maturity, but also upon differences in learning styles. Consequently, we focus on learning experiences appropriate not only to age, but also to maturity and learning style. We promote creativity, critical thinking and curiosity. We strive for the development of leadership capabilities and a sense of personal responsibility. We help our students develop self-discipline, practical compassion for others and appreciation of diversity. We instill the positive attitudes necessary for school success.
We believe that faith development is the responsibility of the family, the church and –if you are a part of our program--Bethelview United Methodist Preschool. We teach moral values and Christian significance as part of our core curriculum. We lead our students in acts of caring and compassion as expressions of their spiritual commitments. We seek to guide our students into a personal relationship with Christ as a foundation on which they can build their lives while making sure they feel important and loved.
We regard our educational efforts as a partnership between parents and school. Bethelview United Methodist Preschool expects and values parental support in encouraging our students to develop their fullest potential, to become independent and resourceful individuals. We are committed to guiding each student in the pursuit of personal, academic and spiritual excellence.
