Mother's Day Out

Last Updated: 06-11-08

Mother's Day Out is a ministry of FUMC that has run continuously for over 30 years. Although each new year brings change to our program, the purposes remain the same:

We strive to provide socialization and age-appropriate learning experiences for our youngest children in a loving, Christian atmosphere.
At the same time, we are offering moms or other caregivers a few hours to tend to their needs.

A safe environment is very important to us. We abide by the two adult rule, whereby two adults will be with the children at all times during MDO.

Developmentally appropriate activities include:

Outside Play on our toddler/twos playground (Indoor Play during cold or inclement weather)
Art
Group Time: finger plays, songs, stories, conversation, music and dancing
Prayer and Snack (provided by MDO unless child brings own snack)
Free Play
