Welcome to JUMP
Welcome to Jamestown United Methodist Preschool. We’ve been a part of Jamestown United Methodist Church since 1958.
JUMP is a quality half-day preschool program with a dedicated and qualified staff who nurture children in a safe and loving Christian environment. We strive to provide them with a multitude of learning experiences promoting their development at age-appropriate levels, helping them grow:
- physically

- spiritually
We meet them where they are and strive to build from there.
