At FUMC Day School we believe in child-centered play based learning which allows children to learn at their own individual pace through the natural process of play. Incorporated throughout the week is a theme-of-the-week curriculum. Weekly activities focus on gross and fine motor skills, social interaction and creative expression. During their four hour day (9:30 a.m. to
1:30 p.m.) children have an opportunity to play and interact with others their age while fostering independence, curiosity and problem solving skills. They also express themselves through art and music activities. Furthermore, throughout the day the teachers provide a safe, secure and loving environment for our students. Children who are two years and older also attend chapel once a week where they sing, pray and listen to Bible stories. We welcome parents to call the office during school hours to check on their child’s progress. (Office hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.)

Our 4 year old children are offered the 5 day program only. Classes are kept small and each class is staffed by at least 2 teachers who are trained in CPR and First Aid. They also receive 15 hours of training yearly by attending workshops on topics such as child growth and development, guidance and discipline, and age appropriate curriculum. FUMC Day School is licensed by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.

The Day School Board is the governing body of the school and establishes policy, rules and regulations in cooperation with the Day School Director. The Board always invites the suggestions of parents for strengthening the work of the school.
