Dear Parent/Guardians, In solidarity with other area schools and in the interest of precautionary social distancing to combat the spread of COVID-19, we have decided to close Newport Center United Methodist Preschool for at least the next two weeks. We will keep you informed of any updates as soon as we have information.
