There are also many special events and activities throughout the year to keep our children excited and engaged. Epworth Preschool has in house speech and occupational therapy if needed.
Epworth United Methodist Preschool utilizes the ABeka Christian Curriculum, developed by Pensacola Christian College. This curriculum introduces letter names, letter sounds, phonics, and math skills, while reinforcing Christian beliefs. This exposes the children to a traditional learning style and introduces beginning writing and letter formation skills throughout the preschool years.

HighReach Learning is a project-based curriculum which engages the children with high interest themes and links their learning to their own experiences. This curriculum gets the children to share their knowledge and expand it as well. The children will be immersed in a theme, where they may be scientists or explorers on one day and artists or writers the next. The children will learn new vocabulary and begin to make connections throughout their daily experiences.

Scholastic Magazine provides the students with weekly science and social studies articles that engage the children by utilizing current themes. The articles correlate to the current month providing information such as, classroom rules in the beginning of the school year, to seasonal changes and current holidays. The children love the bright colors, engaging pictures, and the fact that they take a magazine home weekly!
