Susanna Wesley Day School and After School Program

The Susanna Wesley Day School program is based on developmentally appropriate practices. Teachers think first about what young children are like and then create an environment and experiences that are in tune with children’s characteristics. An important emphasis is placed on the development of knowledge skills and dispositions toward learning. Dispositions about learning are formed very early in life. Our goal is to provide a balance of activities and experiences that meet each child’s developmental needs. As a result children learn to feel competent about their learning capabilities and potential.

We recognize that young children are forming a foundation for future learning. At SWDS children are exposed to many activities that foster a collaborative and cooperative learning community. Opportunities are provided for children to investigate events and phenomena around them. Our aim is to provide many experiences that build upon children’s innate learning potential and appreciation of others and the world around them. We strive to encourage children’s understanding of their world through activities aimed at social emotional physical and intellectual development

At SWDS we provide a nurturing Christian learning environment where children feel loved and valued as a special individual who is created by God.
