Welcome to the Methodist Day School. Since the early 1970's, the Day School has provided a loving, Christian program filled with rich experiences that provide a strong foundation for learning and growing.
Children attending the school benefit from years of quality programming, materials, and a staff dedicated to this important ministry of First United Methodist Church Missouri City.
We look forward to continuing our tradition of early childhood excellence and we are proud you have chosen our program for your child.
The Methodist Day School operates August through May. Our classes are open to any child regardless of race or religious beliefs, provided the school can meet the needs of the child.
The Methodist Day School meets and exceeds all licensing standards of the Texas Department of Protective and Regulatory Services.
In addition, it is operated under the guidelines of the Missouri City Health and Fire Departments.
The primary goal in working with the school's infant to pre-kindergarten children is to help them develop a positive self- esteem and a sense of security while learning about the world around them.
This is achieved by providing developmentally appropriate activities planned by loving, dedicated teachers in a happy, Christian environment.
