Our Alumni

First United Methodist Preschool has been in operation since 1979, in the heart of downtown Austin. As a long-standing preschool, we reach the length and breadth of the Austin-metro area; from Kyle to Cedar Park, Lakeway to Manor, we draw families from near and far. That creates diversity in our population. We have second-generation FUMP families; the children who attended FUMP now have their own children attending here.  It speaks highly that FUMP is such a special place, so much so that our former students seek to have their children attend here as well.

Our alumni go on to attend prestigious colleges and universities, such as:

The University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, Rice, Carnegie Mellon, Wellesley College, Stanford, SMU, TCU, Baylor, and many more.

Would you like to make a donation in honor of a FUMP alumni student? Please see our ALUMNI FUND page.

We have seen our town grow and change, just as we have watched our alumni evolve into accomplished young men and women.  Please read on to discover more about our alumni.
