Mother's Day Out provides an opportunity for young children to be cared for safely and lovingly in a stimulating environment while parents take a day to pursue personal interests.
This program is not babysitting. We recognize that children are learning all the time and never as much as in the first three years of life. Each age group has an age appropriate curriculum. Christian traditions and Bible stories are a part of the curriculum as well. Our spacious rooms are well stocked, and our staff is trained to make the day interesting and enjoyable.
This one or two day program helps children learn through firsthand experiences, repetition and imitation. During their day, the children use all their senses to gather information about the world around them. They taste, touch, listen, and look. Our day includes music and rhythm activities, climbing, story times, and a daily Bye-Bye Buggy ride around the church. Our littlest ones are learning that Mom and Dad always come back and to trust others to meet their needs. This trust is the cornerstone of developing faith.
Nine months old by September 1st.
This one or two day program offers this lively age group much space and teacher interaction. The children are curious and are trying to do things for themselves. Our Toddler class teachers encourage use of language and provide many developmental activities – painting, play dough, pouring sand and water, reading and being read to, building with soft blocks and playing in our fenced playground. Toddlers learn that God loves them unconditionally whatever they do!
Fifteen months old by September 1st.
Twos can participate in a one or two day a week program; MDO Threes meet on Monday and Wednesday or on Tuesday and Thursday.
At this age children are aware of others and practicing social skills necessary to enjoy each other’s company. They are developing a concept of “friend” as they dress up for dramatic play, dig together in our big sand box, ride Big Wheels, and listen to stories in our Circle Time. We share Bible stories about being a friend and learn about our best friend, Jesus Christ.
