  • “FUMP is truly the light on a hill. We have the highest of praises to sing about the entire program, from the Director, to the teachers, to the pastor and the special guests they bring in. Everything is planned and carried out with thought and love for the kids. I’ve never once questioned or had an issue with policies or protocols. I always feel seen and heard as a parent, and my boys feel the same in class. There is no place like FUMP.”
