KIDS FIRST PRESCHOOL UPDATE
Over the past few months, the Early Childhood Board has been continually monitoring the impact of the pandemic and considering the opening of Kids First and Discovery Days. After many lengthy and heartfelt conversations, the board decided to offer only a virtual option with in-person playdates rather than the regular schedule. This option has gone well during the fall semester and will be continued throughout the spring semester. This decision was based on many considerations and challenges, including dealing with the continued unknowns of the coronavirus, securing a new director for the program at this time, caring for our talented staff and wonderful families, and balancing enrollment with expenses. 
 
In the coming weeks, members of the board and other leaders of the church will reflect on the best way to be in ministry with children – especially with our youngest ones through early education. We are eager to see what innovative opportunities may rise up for children in the Lawrence community at First United Methodist Church. 
 
If you have questions about this ministry, please contact one of the pastors.
