We believe as a tree begins as a small seed, so does a child. With the help of nurturing and care, the child begins to grow in all dimensions to explore and experience new opportunities. Our goal is that our students experience growth spiritually and academically.

Small Blessings is an extension of the ministry of First United Methodist Church of Bryant. Our program will provide a quality early childhood education through experiences that allow for children to begin their development socially, emotionally, physically, and mentally.

Preferred Registration (currently enrolled families and Bryant FUMC church members) will begin on Tuesday, February 8 at 8:30 am. To hold a place for your child, we must receive a completed registration form AND the non-refundable $75 registration fee.

Open Registration (open to all) will begin on Tuesday, February 15 at 9:30 am. A completed registration form AND the non-refundable $75 registration must be turned into the preschool office to hold a place for your child.
