Welcome to CHUMS!
Our mission is to nurture each child through play, exploration, and growth — rooted in play and grounded in care, and enriched by strong early academics.
Welcome to our Toddler rooms, where every day is an adventure filled with creativity, play, and learning! Join us as we explore the great outdoors, dive into exciting centers, and engage in special activities, all in a nurturing environment. Together, we grow, discover, and make lasting memories.
Welcome to our Preschool class, where each day is a new adventure! Here, our students explore through fun centers, exciting outdoor play, and STEAM activities. Watch as they grow in confidence and creativity while making lifelong friends in their school family. Join us in nurturing curiosity and a love for learning!
At Colonial Hills United Methodist School, learning goes beyond the classroom with exciting weekly specials that spark curiosity and creativity! Children explore music, build coordination in motor skills, get their hands dirty in the garden, and dive into the wonders of STEAM. These joyful experiences enrich their development and help them grow in playful, meaningful ways.
There’s something magical about digging in the dirt, planting tiny seeds, and watching them grow! Our outdoor classroom is a joyful place where children explore nature with wonder and curiosity. As they care for plants and witness the changes around them, as they create in our mud kitchen, and as they play at the tables, they learn patience, responsibility, and the beauty of growth.
At Colonial Hills United Methodist School, our toddler movement space invites little ones to explore, climb, and grow with confidence! Featuring Pikler triangles, climbing structures, and safe spaces for big body movement, this environment encourages balance, coordination, and strength through joyful play. As children move, stretch, and discover what their bodies can do, they build the foundation for lifelong confidence, independence, and a love of active learning.
At Colonial Hills United Methodist School, our outdoor spaces are full of wonder and discovery! Children play beneath the shade of tall trees, dig and plant in the garden, and create imaginative adventures in the mud kitchen. Every moment outside invites exploration, connection, and joyful learning in nature.

"Wonderful preschool for kids. Staff is caring and professional. It's a small enough school so my son gets lots of personal attention and I feel he is safe there. I highly recommend it."
"A place where kids learn while they are happy and loved.
My 9 and 7 year old still say their favorite teacher is from CHUMS
It is like family"
