Alamo Heights United Methodist Weekday School

From the Director:

Children are helped to reach these goals by making and enjoying friends, learning to recognize the needs of others, and learning to share responsibility for the care of the world we live in. Planned activities develop motor skills, language abilities and generate experiences with math and science. Activities are designed to foster self-confidence and an appreciation for home, school, church and the community, recognizing their responsibility as well as their dependence on others.

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE The purpose of the AHUMC Weekday School is to provide children with healthy surroundings and to give them the opportunity to have happy experiences related to the church. Through playing and sharing with other children and adults, they are given an opportunity to develop social awareness, learn basic Pre-readiness skills and to gain self-confidence. Each child is provided with a group experience that meets his needs, supervised by teachers who understand and love children and are skilled in working with them. A.
