Welcome to Garner United Methodist Preschool (GUMP)! We provide a high-quality early childhood developmental program for children ages 2 – PreK.

At GUMP, we teach every child that they are special and unique, and we do so within a Christian environment. We promote learning by teaching developmentally appropriate, hands-on material that is fun and engaging. We are always excited to introduce young minds to early literacy using the Letterland curriculum. 

The teachers at GUMP are very dedicated and aim to provide a loving environment for each child. We strive to deliver positive preschool experiences while building lasting relationships with the children and their families.
