Learning Through Play, Surrounded By Love

We welcome all children to learn, play, and grow!

BUMP is a ministry of Burke United Methodist Church. The two-fold purpose of our preschool is to provide a warm, stimulating atmosphere in which each child can grow and develop according to their individual needs, and to provide parents with the assurance that the child is being well cared for and loved.
