About Benns Church Preschool
Benns Church Preschool in Smithfield is part of Benn's United Methodist Church and has operated since 1974. Teachers aim to give children a warm, nurturing place where they feel safe, and the preschool treats each child as an individual. Children learn through play and developmentally appropriate activities, with cooperative play and creative activities supporting social, emotional and physical milestones. Daily schedules include time for children to pick their own activities and playmates, plus group time in language, math, music and science skills. The preschool says each child's value is recognized and sacred, and it ties that to the church family at Benn's UMC. Its wording stresses that children think, reason, question and experiment.
