Welcome to Bear Creek United Methodist Church, Houston TX 77084

Bear Creek Preschool

Bear Creek United Methodist Church School believes each child, as a child of God, is worthy of love, acceptance and support. We offer a Christian environment equipped to stimulate early life experience, growth and development. The progam is open to all children regardless of race, nationality or creed. Bear Creek School is nonprofit, nonsectarian and nonpolitical. BCUMCS provides a developmentally appropriate program that is sensitive to the needs of all children. Our philosophy incorporates the understanding that each child has a unique learning style and stage of development. A discovery approach to learning is offered and provides opportunities for observation and hands on experiences. This awareness that children learn best though play, and providing rich experience to observe and participate, is known as “The Bear Creek Way.”

We offer classes beginning at 12 months through Kindergarten. For more information contact the preschool office at 281-463-2969.
