PURPOSE:
MDS has provided quality experiences for children for over three decades. Our program is designed to provide a Christian atmosphere for the cognitive, physical, social/emotional, and spiritual development of children. MDS serves children of all races, nationalities, and religious creeds, ages 12 months through Kindergarten.
Emphasis is placed on developing each child's self-esteem and the fulfillment of their highest God-given potential. The staff is experienced in working with young children and receives training in the field of early childhood education throughout the school year. They value the needs of each child and strive to provide opportunities for each child to grow spiritually, emotionally, physically, intellectually, and socially.
GOALS:
In a Christian, safe and healthy environment, our school provides many opportunities for large and fine motor development, active and quiet times, and cooperative as well as individual play. Well-equipped classrooms with learning centers are designed to help young children learn through discovery and play. An outdoor playground and gym give children opportunities to develop their motor skills.
Our teachers help each child become a self-reliant, secure child of God by showing children they are loved and accepted as individuals. Through guidance and a caring discipline, our staff fosters a positive self-concept in children.
EVENTS AND ACTIVITIES
During the school year many events and activities are planned for the children such as Pumpkin Patch, Thanksgiving Feast, Pictures with Santa, Pajama Day, Puppet Show, Nana Puddin, Police Department, Fire Department, and Splash Day.
