Great Beginnings Preschool and Leesburg United Methodist are teaming up for our 4th Annual Recess Run 5k and Fun Run! Proceeds from previous Races helped fund a brand new playground for our church and preschool children and new and updated learning materials for our students. But we’re not stopping there! We look forward to using this year’s proceeds to help us purchase a permanent sunshade for our wonderful playground.

Great Beginnings Preschool is located in Historic Downtown Leesburg. We have had the privilege of educating Leesburg’s children for 50 years! We are so blessed to have a dedicated staff and the support of Leesburg United Methodist Church. At Great Beginnings Preschool (GBP), we have a “Learn through Play” approach to Early Childhood Education. Children are most comfortable when in motion and our staff brings early literacy, math, science and art to life each morning. GBP focuses on the whole child. Socialization and Academics go hand-in-hand during these formative years. We encourage our learners to SHINE bright: Share, Help others, Include everyone and use Nice words Everyday like Jesus.

We are exicted to hold our 5k and Fun Run at a new location, Evergreen Sports Complex!  What a gorgeous venue to celebrate our preschool, church and community.

Our Fun Runners (and 5kers as well) are invited to wear preschool-appropriate Halloween costumes!

Thank you for helping GBP and LUMC maintain and improve our playground and preschool.
