Trinity United Methodist Preschool
We are a Gold Seal School, a VPK provider, and a top-performing early education center that is home to 75 children per year.
Trinity United Methodist Preschool first opened its doors in the fall of 1973. We began with seventeen children aged 3 and 4 and met three mornings a week. Over the years we added a 2-year-old program, a Mother’s Morning Out for infants and toddlers, lunch hours, early morning drop-off, and a summer program. Today, we are a high-quality early education provider offering full-time options for families in the Tallahassee area.
Our program uses a thematic curriculum, which enables the children to learn through play. Each age group is provided with developmentally appropriate materials and projects--it’s fun with a function! For parents’ convenience, early drop-off is available between 7:30 and 8:55 a.m. for an additional fee. The school schedule is based on the public school calendar. An optional summer session is available.

Our Mission
Trinity United Methodist Preschool’s mission is to nurture and enrich the lives of children during the critical years of early learning and create the Christian and educational foundation for our students to flourish throughout their lives.
Our Philosophy
Trinity United Methodist Preschool will provide each child the opportunity to participate in a comprehensive sequential and developmental program of learning based upon the individual’s specific needs for life’s preparation in an ever-changing world. We feel that it is most important that your child learn through caring, laughing, playing, sharing, creating, listening, and loving. As a part of the Christian education and outreach of the Trinity United Methodist Church, the program is consistent with concepts advocated by the United Methodist Church on the nurturing of young children.
