About the Program:
Bear Creek United Methodist Church School was established in June of 1984 and opened classes in September of that year. Beginning as a three day preschool and Mother’s Day Out, BCUMCS, within the time span of one year, expanded to offer services five days a week. Bear Creek United Methodist Church School offers an Infant/Toddler program, a Pre-K 3, Pre-K 4 and Pre-K 4/5 transition classes. The weekday ministry of Bear Creek Church is licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services. The program is open to all children, and when possible, modifications are made. All children, regardless of race or ethnic origin are eligible to attend Bear Creek School. Bear Creek is a non-profit organization, governed by a School Board consisting of church members and at large members.
Bear Creek was the vision and dream in the heart and mind of Maetha Smith. She was the first director and BC was blessed to have her leadership for many years.
