In 1973, Mt. Zion United Methodist Church opened one of the first preschools in the East Cobb area. Today the program continues to be known for its commitment to quality early childhood education and loving care for children from 12 months through 5 years of age. Since its inception, the preschool has been recognized for its commitment to excellence in early childhood education. It has earned national recognition as a N.A.E.Y.C. accredited program and is also recognized as a 'School of Excellence' by the North Georgia UMC Conference.
Mt. Zion UMC Preschool is known as 'the loving school in the heart of East Cobb.' The goal of this makeover was to create a calming sensory therapy space for students attending Mt. Zion. Through a prior partnership with the Adaptive Learning Center, Mt. Zion has become known for excellence in the sensory special needs education space and has recently partnered with an in-house licensed occupational therapist to provide adaptive services for their students.
By providing dimmable lighting, a custom climbing and cool-down tower, a custom climbing wall, and various therapy and sensory equipment features, SOARD was able to provide this therapy space that will serve hundreds of kids today and in the future.
