We are an outreach ministry of the Shueyville United Methodist Church in Shueyville, Iowa. We will represent Jesus Christ by living, teaching, and sharing the Christian faith and way of life. We define quality care and education as structured programs with many and varied learning enrichment opportunities, all rooted in Christian beliefs.
The goal of All God's Children is to help children develop positive feelings about God, themselves, others and learning. We believe AGC should be a place of security, a time of fun, and exposure to new learning possibilities. Opportunities for social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual growth will be provided throughout the year.

Services
The United Methodist Church has been in the town of Shueyville, Iowa since 1956. The "Shueyville Class" of the church of the United Brethren in Christ was formally organized by the Rev. Solomon Weaver. The original congregation of 31 charter members included settlers who had migrated to this area from Virginia.
Staff members maintain current certification in First Aid, CPR, Universal Precautions and Mandatory Reporting. Classes in the areas of child development and appropriate practices are taken yearly to keep staff up to date on topics related to providing the most effective preschool experiences for children and their families.
We have three classes of 4 year old preschool and they are no cost to parents. A class of 19 in the morning from 8:30 to 11:30 and two classes, one has 19 students and the other has 16, in the afternoon from 12:30 to 3:30. For working parents, we provide childcare that wraps around preschool. There are 19 spots available.
Our 4 year old program is one of a kind, it is state-funded and rooted in Christian beliefs. We save the last half hour of every school day to learn about Jesus through Bible stories, chapel time, songs and prayers from the heart. We use Creative Curriculum for Preschool that provides children with opportunities to learn and practice newly gained skills.
Our 3 year old program is a very important part of All God's Children. We know the importance of starting children early in enhancing their development from toddlers to expressive 3 year olds. It is a special program that is rooted in Christian beliefs. We take the time to learn about Jesus through Bible stories, chapel time, songs and prayers from the heart.
