Preschool

 

Where small classes provide a quality beginning!

The Methodist Preschool is now in it's 45th year of operation as a state-licensed, non-profit organization providing an enriching early childhood experience for three, four, and five year olds.
We believe that early childhood education is unique in that it is the beginning of the home-school relationship. As the child moves from the close family group into the larger social world, the child gains experience in social living. Fostering positive relationships with peers allows children to experience a variety of opportunities to lead as well as follow, to contribute ideas, and to negotiate and to compromise.

The Methodist Preschool offers an age-appropriate curriculum for three, four and five year olds, inspiring each child to further develop their thinking skills, gain independence, build self-confidence and to foster their creativity.

We strive to create a warm, loving, learning environment that stimulates creativity and produces an atmosphere conducive to developing a positive self image for each child. Our program has enough structure to provide security yet enough freedom so that each child can explore, develop and grow emotionally, socially, physically and intellectually.

The Methodist Preschool welcomes the opportunity to have you share in your child's preschool experience through our parent participation program. Children must be three, four, or five years old by September 30 of the year they are enrolling.

Parent's Morning Out

 

PMO is designed to give children time together with other children of similar ages to learn and grow through play and to provide their parents the opportunity to re-create, re-new, or just "be" knowing their child is safe, happy and well cared for.

This program of the United Methodist Church of Chagrin Falls will begin its 17th year of ministry this fall. PMO is a mid-week Christian program for the very young child. Parents may enroll their child in one of six classes offered each week.

Kids!!Children participating in the Parent's Morning Out program can enjoy a variety of age-appropriate activities in a safe, clean, nurturing Christian atmosphere. PMO incorporates intentional opportunities to enhance the spiritual development of young children into every fun-filled day. Daily lesson plans include: Bible stories, related songs and crafts, art projects, age-appropriate fine motor, large motor and social skills, development activities, music, healthy snacks and supervised free play.
For more information or to add your child to the waiting list, please contact Leslie McKnight, PMO Director, at tomissleslie@alltel.net or call (440) 543-8107.
