Our Philosophy

It is the Nursery School’s philosophy that school and learning should be an enjoyable time of exploration and discovery.  Most of what young children learn is through direct sensory experience; therefore we promote learning through play.  We provide time for free play experiences as well as teach concepts through planned and directed activities.  The school atmosphere encourages freedom of choice within
a structured environment and supports children’s independence.  Children take great pride in accomplishing tasks on their own and grow in self confidence with each new success.  Our program
is planned to meet the developmental needs of the children and support them as they grow physically, emotionally, intellectually and socially.  Our goal at the United Methodist Nursery School is to make every child’s first school experience a positive one that begins a lifetime of learning.
