OUR MISSION
Williams School is a Christian Preschool and Mother's Day Out Program for children 8 months - 5 years old. Our Mission is to glorify God through nurturing and teaching children in a Christian environment so that each child will achieve his or her greatest potential academically, socially and spiritually.
OUR PROGRAMS
The Williams School and Mother's Day Out programs are ministries of Williams Memorial UMC. We provide a loving Christian environment for educations and social opportunities. The Williams School offers two separate school sessions. The traditional year follows the Pleasant Grove Independent School District calendar. Preschool hours are 8:15 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. when school is in session. The Williams School is open Monday - Friday, 7:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. for those who choose extended care. There is also an eight-week summer option available.
OUR STAFF
Each member of Williams School, including the Mother's Day Out program, has completed adult and infant/child CPR and first aid training, submits to a criminal history check, and completes at least 24 hours of training each year. Staff members include qualified teachers, mothers with experience in childcare, and college students majoring in education or child-related field.
CURRICULUM
During the traditional school year, the preschool uses the DLM early childhood curriculum as a resource, which is published by McGraw-Hill/SRA. This is just a starting point for our Williams students. Our teachers have used this resource and others to develop a curriculum centered on language, math, science, social skills, music, art, Spanish and motor development through thematic units. A companion to the curriculum includes activities that focus on teaching children Christian concepts. Offering blessings before snacks and lunch are also part of each day. The preschool promotes the growth of each child’s basic Christian development during weekly chapel conducted by staff members of both Williams School and Williams Memorial UMC.
