FMS is affordable and has great flexibility! 9-2 with early arrival (7-9) and late pickup (2-4:30) available. I'm so glad to know my baby is in great hands!
I enrolled my child in First Methodist School expecting a warm, trustworthy environment that aligned with our values, but unfortunately, I was left disappointed. While the teachers seem caring and genuinely engaged, I’ve experienced issues with the preschool’s financial practices that I feel parents should know about. After initially agreeing on payment terms, I was surprised to discover “late fees” being added to my invoices without clear explanation. When I questioned these charges, the staff’s responses were vague, and it often felt like they were trying to pocket these “fees” without proper justification. I understand that mistakes happen, but this pattern felt less like an error and more like a strategy to take advantage of busy parents who may not notice these charges. In my case, I was dealing with some personal circumstances that affected my payment schedule, and the preschool seemed to see it as an opportunity. It’s disheartening to see that a faith-based institution would act this way, especially when many families are trusting them with both their children and hard-earned money. If you’re considering this preschool, my advice is to stay on top of your invoices and ask for clarity on any unexplained charges. It’s a shame that these financial frustrations overshadow an otherwise positive experience for the children.
Amazing school. The staff knows all kids by name. Ms. Erica and Ms. Paula, the school directors, are there everyday to greet you. The teachers involve the parents and keep a close relationship with the students. Classes are small. I wish they went beyond Kindergarten. Thank you for giving our son a beautiful first school experience.
I wish this was a full time program! My 1 year old flourished in Ms. Tenava and Ms. Sidra class. She came home displaying things she learned at school. Ms. Erica the schools director is very personable. She knows her families and all of the her students by name. A very caring, clean, nurturing environment. If my schedule hadn't changed I would still have my daughter their for the mothers day out program. For all that this school offers very affordable!
I love this school!!! I love this staff!!! I trust them with my most precious gifts, and not one day have I regretted it. My children are LEARNING and THRIVING! I will keep my children at FMS for as long as I can!
