A Christian Approach

Mom's Day Out is a Christian program. We strongly advocate and support the Christian values of caring, sharing, and loving. We believe strongly in strengthening the self-esteem of the child and his/her respect for fellow beings.

The Christian aspect of the program is visible daily in our simple prayers and songs. Children are instructed that GOD created them, JESUS loves them, and they are important and unique because a loving GOD created them.

Curriculum

The curriculum is Christian based with a daily learning theme that is carried throughout the day's activities. The children will enjoy activities that include crafts, music, games, toys, outdoor play, and stories, as well as academics such as colors, shapes, numbers, letter recognition and calendar. Sign-Language alphabet, counting in Spanish, and other specialties have also been added along the way.

The Big Kid Room

The Big Kid Room is open to children 2 1/2 years to 5 years old, who don't qualify for Kindergarten. The children do not have to be potty-trained to attend.

Nursery

Parents with children younger than 2 1/2 may want to take advantage of our nursery. For the same price as the older kids, you may leave your littlest ones in the nursery, supervised by a loving adult for the same length of time. Your child will enjoy songs, finger-play, coloring, videos and more as they play separately from the activity of the older children's program.

Note: Enrollment in the nursery is limited to 7 children ages 6 weeks - 2 1/2 years       

A Cooperative Program

Mom's Day Out is a Christian Outreach program sponsored by Friendship United Methodist Church. We try to keep our costs as low as possible by utilizing parent volunteers.

For each eight days that your child attends, you must work one day. If your child attends two days per week, then you work one time per month. If your child attends one day per week, then you work one day every other month.

A parent of a registered child may send a grandparent or other relation to work in their place, but they must be affiliated with the program in some way.

Snacks 

We have a low/no-sugar policy here at MDO. The exception is birthdays. On these special days cookies, cupcakes, ice cream, muffins etc. may be sent for snack time. No candy can be eaten at MDO, but goody bags may go home with the children at the end of the day. These birthdays usually average 1-2 per month. The children are given a healthy snack list and asked to provide one item from the two columns approximately 2x/year. Only 100% juice or milk is allowed at snack time. A list is sent home monthly and children are responsible for this day. Back-up snacks are always on hand in case of allergies or if a child is ill that day and unable to provide the snacks.
