(15 months to 2 years old)
Mother’s Day Out hours are from 9:30-2:30 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from September to May. Each child has the option to attend the program one or two days a week.
- Through all our activities we wish to express our love for God and enjoy and learn more about his goodness, truth, and beauty.
- Concepts are taught through Bible stories, related art and music activities, prayer, and sharing among children.
- Two-year-old classes provide different centers for experience in dramatic play, gross and fine motor skills, and block play.
Note: The MDO classes are not licensed by the Department of Human Services. D.H.S. does not require these classes to be licensed because the children only come one or two days a week. We do, however, meet all health and safety standards.
