Walkersville United Methodist Church presents...

Weekday Nursery School

School Activities

The church has made available five rooms for Weekday Nursery School. The rooms are equipped with appropriate aides and developmental toys.  Each room has an art area, manipulative game and puzzle center, dramatic play area, block area, and book area.  There is an outdoor play area as well, with ample equipment for large muscle development.  A typical program routine alternates quiet and active times, including art and craft projects, supervised play, group time, songs, games, stories, snacks, and outdoor play.  All four year old and Pre-K classes participate in our school’s lending library and Handwriting Without Tears writing program.

Snack is provided by WNS and includes nutritious offerings from at least two food groups, although contributions or special snacks for individual groups are welcomed with advance notice. Parents will be provided a calendar for their juice and snack food contributions.  Staff members also plan a variety of cooking projects that may be served as a snack.

Walking trips to nearby sites in old Walkersville are a tradition at Weekday Nursery School.  Trips requiring parental help with transportation are planned at the discretion of the individual group leaders.

The entire school participates in a fall pumpkin patch trip and a spring trip to the Catoctin Wildlife Zoo.  All classes will also participate in a Christmas Program in December.
