The Preschool at St. Andrew is a community outreach of St. Andrew United Methodist Church.


  • St. Andrew UMC Preschool is a North Georgia United Methodist Program of Excellence. We received this accreditation in April 2024 and it is good for 3 years.
  • The preschool is a ministry of the church designed to assist families with education, parenting, and faith development.
  • We have chapel for 30 minutes each week. The children sing and have a short Bible story. We promote simple faith lessons with the underlying theme that ‘God loves us and expects us to do good things.’ We avoid any complicated theology.
  • We practice prayer hands before snacks and lunch. Classroom projects may include fun activities that promote values and faith lessons.
  • We welcome families of all faiths and cultures who are comfortable with our approach.
  • About 1/3 of our students and teachers are members of St. Andrew. Information about the programs at St. Andrew such as VBS, Exercise Classes, Women’s Circle meetings and special events are shared with all our Preschool Families.
