Riviera United Methodist Preschool

Founded in 1974, Riviera United Methodist Preschool (R.U.M.P.) is a developmental preschool for 3 to 5 year-olds where children learn through play.

In our parent participation program, children learn alongside their parents, while siblings are cared for in our on-site nursery. Our school recognizes parents as teachers and sees their involvement in preschool education as a natural stage of development.

At R.U.M.P. children’s positive sense of self is nurtured through a supportive and challenging environment. Our children are exposed to a wide variety of activities and experiences to foster social, mental and physical skills:


•Art and craft
•Building
•Sensory play
•Science and nature
•Music and movement
•Pretend play
•Problem solving
•Number concepts
•Language development (including A.S.L.)
•Pre-reading activities
•Health and fitness
•Social play with peers

We offer an optional Pre-K Program, held Mondays from 9:30am to 12pm, which provides activities with academic emphasis for children starting Kindergarten the following September. Click here for more details.
