We are pleased to announce that the Blair Road UMC (BRUMC) Church Council has approved the reestablishment of the Blair Road UMC School, Inc. (Preschool) Board of Directors, as outlined in the Preschool bylaws. Previous Boards have served as a source of support for the Preschool as they fulfill their mission. We hope this Board can serve as a fresh start for reopening communication channels and furthering collaboration between the Preschool and BRUMC in order to ensure the Preschool can continue meeting the needs of the families they serve.

The Board of Directors had their first meeting on Monday, June 9th , to discuss ways forward that would allow the Preschool programs to continue uninterrupted throughout the summer and into the next school year. The Board also began long-term planning for ways to improve the relationship between the Preschool and BRUMC. We hope these actions will reduce uncertainty and ensure the Preschool can provide quality, affordable childcare to the families in the Mint Hill and surrounding communities that rely upon them.
