Methodist Nursery School

History

The Methodist Nursery School began in 1974 as an outreach of the Plymouth United Methodist Church. We have been serving the community for many years and now see former students enrolling their own children in our program. We are housed in the Plymouth United Methodist Church and value the good relationship we have with the church. We maintain an independent program that is governed by our board of Directors.

Purpose

Our purpose is to provide a warm, loving, creative and stimulating environment in which Pre-school children can grow, play and learn together. Socially, your child will be encouraged to play and interact with his/her peers. Through this interaction, the importance of accepting others and their views along with the concept of sharing will be practiced. We believe that it is our job to stimulate the curiosity of your child as he/she begins the journey of being a life-long learner. We strive to open up the doors, letting your child progress without pressure at his/her own pace. We believe each child matures at a different rate and this must be taken into consideration, both in the area of curriculum as well as the presentation of materials. It is our job to prepare your child by giving him/her a sound foundation so that he/she may find his/her introduction into kindergarten a pleasant and rewarding experience.
