The nursery school was established in 1966 by Metropolitan Memorial UMC to serve its members and the community. The school's philosophy-that small children thrive best in a small, family-oriented, nurturing environment-and the continuity of faculty give the school its special style and flavor.

Foster a love of country and concern for God's universe.
OUR PROGRAM
A course of study or a curriculum as such cannot be stated. Nursery school is as broad as life, and the interests of the child are many.
Our two-year old program is an unstructured program where children learn to play together.
While there is variation in the 3 and 4-year-old day's activity, there is also a definite routine that will provide experiences to the formation of good habits.
When the child arrives he or she may choose an activity such as playing with housekeeping equipment, blocks, books, trucks, puzzles, or paints.
Circle time enables the child to participate in singing, rhythm, conversation, games, and stories. Children are encouraged to gain insights and skills at their own learning level.
Juice and cookies are served each day. A short period of relaxation is enjoyed. There are frequent outdoor play periods making use of our excellent preschool playground.
