The Weekday School
Preschool in Phoenix, AZ 85012
The Weekday School at First United Methodist Church provides a social development education program for children ages 6 weeks through pre-Kindergarten. We believe that through a wide variety of experiences, all of which are geared to the child’s ability and understanding, the child can be helped to become friendly, kind and considerate, thoughtful and loving.
Our goal here at the Weekday School is to provide an atmosphere in which the child may realize his or her full potential of critical and creative thinking by developing self-respect, self-reliance and self-discipline. While in the care of the Weekday School, the child will grow physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, and spiritually, at his or her own speed and in his or her own pattern. Our curriculum is an integrated, independent, and inter-related process. Each teacher has a system and procedure for teaching specific skills according to their assessment of each child. We are committed to enhancing your child’s self-esteem by helping your child to succeed. We hope to be both a resource and a support system to parents. Parents are an important part of the Weekday School. Open communication between family and school, and the strong desire to be partners with you in the care of your child, help make Weekday School the finest preschool program in the area.- Child Ages:
