It is the purpose of the Duluth First United Methodist Church to minister to our congregation and our community by providing an early learning program for children ages 1 through 5 years and their parents. We strive to support the development of sound basic social and spiritual skills; a love of learning; and an appreciation of self, others, and God's world in a loving, Christian environment.

Your child will have fun and make friends while attending our accredited, award winning school:

• “Best of Gwinnett” award in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022;
• “Gwinnett Daily Post Reader’s Choice" award in 2019.

We hope you will come join us!  If you know of anyone looking for a wonderful preschool, please send him or her our way.
