Welcome From Our Director
Thank you for submitting your wait list application!
Your form has been received. Your child will be placed on the waiting list for a period of one year. If a space for your child becomes available within that year, you will be notified of the available space. You must renew your application every year in order to retain your spot on the Waiting List. To do so, please contact the preschool office instead of completing another waiting list form. The doors of Shandon are always open and we welcome your visits and inquiries.
Welcome!
We’re happy you’re in interested in Shandon Preschool and Kindergarten, a ministry by and for Shandon United Methodist Church members and the community. The program was developed in response to the need for high-quality childcare in the Columbia area and accepts children ages six weeks to five years.
Shandon Preschool and Kindergarten is operated under the supervision of the Director, Carla Graf and Assistant Director, Amber Sims. Each classroom is staffed with a lead teacher and an associate teacher all of whom are dedicated, caring and highly professional. Continuing education requirements are a priority for all staff members as they are committed to personal and professional growth and development.
Shandon Preschool and Kindergarten is under the guidance of a Board of Directors. The Board is responsible to Shandon UMC’s Church Council.
Learn Through Play
Shandon United Methodist Preschool and Kindergarten, in continuous operation since 1952, strongly believes that children learn through play and supports the idea that the early formative years are crucial to optimum development.
